Arrangement

Materials were reorganized and refoldered during processing. Materials from various accessions were organized alphabetically, however during processing the larger collection it was determined that it was more efficient to organize materials based upon subject matter. Some material was removed which contained private information and was destroyed. Additionally, two boxes of materials were set aside to be returned to Washington State University for their collection on Isabel Miller.
