Processing Information

When this collection was reprocessed in 2024, the scrapbook pages had come loose from their covers, but were so tightly bound together as to be almost unusable. The archivist removed the tight post binding to ease research access and use. At that time, the volume's blank back cover was discarded as its deterioration was causing damage to the pages.
