The following pages contain a brief biographical history of the person, or persons, who created or collected these papers, followed by a general description of the collection in the scope and content note. If more detailed information is warranted then series descriptions also appear. The container listing appears last and is the listing of material in each box, or container, of this collection.

Each folder, or item, has a call number associated with it. Each folder also lists the inclusive dates of the material in the folder.

When your request sheet is complete, or full, bring it to the archivist and the material will be retrieved.
