Processing Information

In 2003 the album received conservation treatment, during which time the bindings and support from each of the fragments were removed, and the items were rehoused in archival folders, maintaining the original order of the items. The original boards and binding materials have been retained as part of the collection.

At the time of accessioning, materials were described on the collection-level.

In 2021, item-level description was added to the finding aid.
