Processing Information
Duplicates were removed. In an effort to separate published materials from archival materials, notes and correspondence were taken out of journals and books and placed in a separate folder in Series I. Notes written on adhesive paper were photocopied, and the adhesive paper originals were removed. The large three-ring binders that held the teaching materials from the American Management Association were also removed, and the materials inside the binders were kept.
