The majority of the collection is housed in one Hollinger box with the materials stored inside acid-free folders and smaller boxes inside the Hollinger box.
Photographs and oversized materials are stored separately with other like materials.
With the exception of the photographs, the materials are in excellent condition.
The mounted photographs are in good condition; however, the mounts are becoming discolored. There are 12 phots that measure 5 x 4 or smaller which are in excellent condition inside mylar sleeves. One 8 x 10 photo is housed in a cardboard frame. The remaining 15 photos are 8 x 10 and are curled and discolored. Some feature captions typed on paper which were glued on the face of the photograph. Finally, there is a class photo from the 1927 senior class of Flushing Highschool that is rolled and would require relaxing.
