Preservation Information

Due to their poor condition, the scrapbooks in accession 1999-065 were disassembled. Print materials (e.g., greeting cards, letters, and programs) were removed from each scrapbook. Newspaper clippings were photocopied onto acid-free paper, and the originals were then discarded. These original print materials and photocopies are housed in boxes 1-10. Photographs were also removed and placed in Mylar sleeves. Before being removed, the photographs were photocopied in situ to preserve original captions and other textual information. These photographs and photocopies are housed in boxes 10-14.
