Processing Information
Originally minimally processed to the collection level. In April 2023, two folders from this collection (containing material by Maggie E. Briggs and Kate St. John Reynolds) were removed to the Bretz family papers (ARC.321). The W.H. Condit mathematics exercise book (erroneously credited to H.W. Condit) was removed to the Blackburne, Woodward, and Ottaway family papers (2013.006). The L.P. Nostrand diary was removed to the Anderson and Nostrand family papers (ARC.199). Subsequently, the collection was renamed and described to better reflect its altered contents.
