Content and structure elements
Scope and content
Several records comprise the collection: correspondence, newspaper clippings, and a ribbon from 1914.
System of arrangement
Past practices described the contents of this collection individually. Each item received an object ID number and was treated as a distinct artifact. Records have been reunited, but their original order may have been lost.
Conditions of access and use elements
Conditions governing access
No restrictions. Contact the Collections Department to arrange use for research.
Physical access
Paper composes most of the collection. The ribbon is housed in a Mylar sleeve.
The collection is largely in fair condition. The newspaper clippings are stable, but have also yellowed significantly and must be handled with care. The ribbon has crease marks. The Mylar sleeve will help to protect it and keep it from harming the paper records.
Technical access
Conditions governing reproduction
No restrictions. Reproductions are done and charged in accordance with Sloan Museum Archives Fee Service Policy.
