winding down


There was not much new to report this week. I tried uncurling the degrees and awards from the McAfee Brown collection that had been stored scrolled, with some success and moved them to a large flat box. I added the container list to the existing in house finding aid. Much of my time was spent trying to identify people in the unlabeled photographs in the collection. I was able to identify a few people beyond Rev. McAfee Brown, but most people will remain anonymous.
I had a few items to add to the Nuclear Disarmament finding aid. I added the Scope and Content and the Abstract. It is unlikely I will be able to 100% complete this collection. The archive is expecting the donor to include a copy of her thesis which was based upon the work she did with the Nuclear Disarmament Project. So the collection will stay open until that is added.
