possible. All materials have been rehoused in archival folders and boxes for long-term stability, but
often staples and other fasteners have not been removed. Materials within folders have not been
rearranged. Born-digital materials were processed by Kirsi Ritosalmi-Kisner in 2019 with funding provided by Smithsonian Collections Care and Preservation Fund.
