Annual Report 2011: Major Activities in Processing of the University Archives

As a con­tin­u­a­tion of our series on our 2011 Annual Report, please see a descrip­tion of our major activ­i­ties in the pro­cess­ing of the Uni­ver­sity Archives:

  • Uni­ver­sity Archives pro­cess­ing had a strong year due to the hir­ing of Christie Peter­son as Uni­ver­sity Archives Project Archivist. Since her start in mid-September 2010,Peterson has sur­veyed all Uni­ver­sity Archives col­lec­tions, and for­mu­lated a pro­cess­ing plan to ensure that all find­ing aids for Uni­ver­sity Archives col­lec­tions larger than 2 lin­ear feet will include inven­to­ries by the end of 2012.
  • Major col­lec­tions and groups of col­lec­tions addressed in 2010 include addi­tions to the the­ater col­lec­tions, eat­ing club records, and over­size mate­r­ial. A total of 69 col­lec­tions and 811 lin­ear feet were addressed in some form in FY2011.
Stay tuned for fur­ther dis­cus­sion of our 2011 work involv­ing acces­sion­ing, dig­i­tal projects, records man­age­ment, col­lec­tion devel­op­ment, exhi­bi­tions, and more.
