Existing Order and descrip-
tion:
Sixteen of the thirty-two accessions have been processed separately, as per insti-
tutional practices. They are described in both EAD finding aids and MARC re-
cords. They are each organized by type of writing (correspondence, topical files,
novel manuscripts, review manuscripts, etc.) to the folder level.
The other 16 accessions are recorded in MARC records at varying degrees of
detail, some with no more than a title, date, and generic note. All computer media
has been separated, numbered, and is referenced in finding aids and records, but
has mostly not been processed. The contents of some disks were printed and filed
with paper manuscripts.
Seven of the accessions contain computer disk materials. Only one of these acces-
sions has been described in an EAD finding aid.
