Arrangement

The sub-series remains in the original folders with original label descriptions as received at Rutgers from HAW in 1990. The subjects are arranged in roughly chronological order. While the bulk of the subject files were found together, several similarly-foldered materials (primarily clippings) were found separately in the 1990 materials received from HAW; these were added to the end of the sub-series by the processing archivist.

Appraisal and Discard Information
