Arranged and described at the collection level by Katy Lindquist, March 2019. Lindquist primarily focused on re-housing collection material into archival storage containers for better preservation, including foldering loose material. Little to no physical arrangement was performed, other than to address restricted material. Lindquist made efforts to organize the container list intellectually to facilitate locating related material in the collection, such as by grouping together material relating to various book projects.
