Archives, correspondence related to, 1980-1981
Scope and Contents
Correspondence includes the communication necessary to organize upcoming meetings and exchanges with and about individual members. The area of fundraising, generally underrepresented in the collection, receives some mention here. The process of deciding how to proceed with an archive is also briefly documented.
Incoming and outgoing letters are arranged alphabetically by topic, filed (generally) in reverse chronological order. The bulk of the correspondence was originally filed in this manner, and the only changes are to combine multiple collections of the same filing location. For example, two initially separate correspondence folders with the name Mark B. Evers were incorporated together. Organization is always by topic or by correspondent, depending on how the materials were originally filed.
