Acquisition Information

The collection was largely compiled by Norman Lasca in the early 1980s when various members of NACSN sent him their available records. In November 1983, NACSN voted to place its records at the Golda Meir Library, and the transfer took place early in 1984. The American Geographical Society transferred the collection to the Archives Department in 1993. Norman Lasca transferred additional materials to the Archives in November 1994 (accession 1994-015), September 1996, June 1998 (accession 1997-056), October 1999 (accession 1999-025), October 2000 (accession 2000-020), September 2003 (accession 2003-015), June 2004 (accession 2003-095), September 2004 (accession 2004-026), and June 2007 (accession 2006-067).

Processing Information

Mark A. Vargas processed the collection at the Archives in June-July 1993. The original order of the collection was very disorganized, and it was necessary to place most materials in the general files. Shannon Urban added the 1994 and 1996 accessions to the collection in September 1996. Mark Vargas added the 1998 accession in June 1998. Nick Weber added the 1999 accession in October 1999. Chan Harries added the 2000 accession in October 2000. Bob Carter added the 2003 accession in September 2003. Jenny Juno added the 2004-2007 accessions in August 2007.
