Abstract

The Lewis Carroll Society of North America (LCSNA) is an organization dedicated to celebrating the works of Lewis Carroll. The collection is composed of documents and correspondence related to the activities of the Society, including publications and meetings.

Biographical / Historical

The Lewis Carroll Society of North America (LCSNA) was established in by Stan Marx in 1974. LCSNA is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to "furthering Carroll studies, increasing accessibility of research materials, and maintaining public awareness of Carroll's contribution to society." The organization meets twice a year, and has an active publications program.

Arrangement

The materials are arranged at the collection-level by material type, project, and publication, and each series is either organized alphabetically or chronologically. Pre-processing of the collection was done by the Lewis Carroll Society of North America (LCSNA). Materials from the 2012 remained in the order in which they were received from the donor and added, using the previously-established arrangement scheme, to Series I: Constitution and Organic Documents, Series II: Publications, Series III: Membership Records, and Series VII: Miscellaneous.

Materials from the 2016 accretion remained in the order in which they were received from the donor and were added to the collection as a separate series.

Processing Information

Decisions concerning arrangement, description, and physical intervention prior to 2016 have not yet been recorded. The 2016 accretion materials were transferred to acid-free folders, and the Alice in Wonderland pins were placed in a protective, paper sleeve before all materials were placed in a half manuscript box. Materials for this accretion were added to the collection as a separate series in keeping with the existing arrangement scheme.

On February 2019, box 8 was rehoused in preparation for offsite storage.

Revisions to this Guide

November 2012: Revisions made by Nicholas Martin to reflect the 2012 accretion.
December 2016: Revisions made by Andrea Kutsenkow to reflect the 2016 accretion.
