Processing Information
In 2018 the administrative, financial, and grant-related files were processed as part of the NEH-funded grant targeting the processing of the General Chronological Collection. These materials were pulled from the General Chronological Collection and stored under the Administration and Finance Collection in an effort to organize files within the office of their generation. As materials processed under this grant must be opened to the public, the restricted financial and administrative materials (which include confidential information) were not fully processed. These records remain unweeded, uncataloged, and only partially ordered. They are scheduled to be processed at the end of the NEH-funded project.
