Processing Note

The collection was transferred by the President's Office to the Archives in six accessions between 1991 and 1993. The records in these six accessions were consolidated into one collection when they were processed by archivist Elizabeth Uhlig in 2005 following the guidelines for minimal processing. The records are stored in boxes in the order they were received by the Archives. This arrangement is reflected in the box and folder listing in the description section. The collection was intellectually rearranged into three series and this arrangement is reflected in the series and folder descriptions which are in alphabetical order.
