The researcher assumes full responsibility for conforming with the laws of libel, privacy, and copyright which may be involved in the use of this collection (Wisconsin Statutes 19.21-19.39).

Acquisition Information

Ray Vahey donated the collection to the Archives in July 2008 (2008-001).

Processing Information

Sarah Ethier (supervised by Christel Maass) processed the collection in October 2008.

Preservation Information

During processing, preservation master and/or access copies were created from electronic records originally received on CDs and DVDs. The interview with Ray Vahey, received as a CD audio file (.cda), was reformatted as both .wav (preservation master) and .mp3 (access copy) formats; the original CD was then discarded. Electronic records received on DVDs were ripped as .iso files (preservation masters) and transcoded to MP4s (access copies).
