Finding Aids Prior to 1990, all manuscript collections were cataloged at item level, and are described in the Center's card catalog. The online finding aids represent collections newly cataloged or recataloged into finding aid form since 1990. For information about collections not in the finding aids list, contact the Research Librarian or the appropriate curator (see the Center's Departmental Directory The finding aids for fully cataloged collections contain a Biographical Sketch, Scope and Contents note, Series Descriptions, Folder List, and Correspondents Index. The longer finding aids (on paper, more than 15 pages) have been divided into several files, usually one for each component of the inventory, to facilitate use on the Web. Preliminary inventories of not yet fully cataloged collections contain a Scope and Contents note and Folder List, but no index of correspondents. As time permits, an image of the author, a sample signature, a sample handwriting sample, and lists of common references to the author will be added to each finding aid.
