Pre- Internship
Filing cabinets were unmarked, several collections were housed in boxes on the floor. There was no order to the collection of material, just years of accumulation.
Post - InternshipVertical file collections are displayed neatly throughout the room. Boxes that were previously full of material are now stored in the attic ready to be reused. The Local History room has a good supply of archival material - clear sleeves, acid free folders, boxes and Hollinger style boxes. The room is well setup to process additional collections most of which are stored in the tall metal cabinets.
Filing cabinets are labeled with the name of the collection, binders hold the finding aids for the collections and title pages clearly identify each collection in the binder. The drawers originally had no identification of any kind. Now the drawers are well marked.
