Also, undated documents found with dated documents in box 1 were left in place.

About this Guide
Processing Information Note
The collection was rehoused at some point, likely in the 2000s. An inventory was prepared by volunteer Alison Barr in 2017-18, with additional notes based on an existing Bobcat catalog record added by archivist Larry Weimer for publication of a finding aid in May 2020.
When the finding aid was published in May 2020, the collection was re-titled, with revisions to the catalog record; the collection was originally cataloged under the title "Schenectady boxes."
