MICROFILM,, 1959-1982 (bulk 1977-1982).
Dates
- 1959-1982 (bulk 1977-1982).
Scope and Contents
MICROFILM includes two general types of microfilmed material. One type includes various materials microfilmed by HAW's staff over time. These materials principally include clippings, press releases, and speeches. Congressional Record pages and indexes, co-signed letters, voting records, and some correspondence are among the other materials microfilmed by the staff by Congressional session, though on what appears to be a less consistent basis than the other material. The second type of microfilm is computer-output microfilm generated from 1977-1982 by the Correspondence Management System (CMS). This microfilm includes basic index-level information about HAW's outgoing correspondence, such as addressee and topic. CMS and the CMS-generated microfilm are discussed in more detail in Appendix B.
Language of Materials
Undetermined .
Physical Description
(4 cubic feet)
Restrictions
None. However, some of the CMS microfilm was done on an open spool format for which Rutgers does not have a reader. Nevertheless (as discussed in Appendix B), all the CMS microfilm holds the same information, though with different sorts, so the information from the open spool microfilm can be obtained from the accessible formats, though perhaps in a less useful sort.
Arrangement
Microfilm of clippings, speeches, and other material appear first in the series, followed by the CMS output in chronological order. Where duplicate formats (e.g., spool and cartridge) were both retained, they are boxed together. The count of items in the container list includes both copies.
Appraisal and Discard Information
The original collection held 7 cubic feet of microfilm. Much of the microfilm was produced in duplicate, on both a spool and in a cartridge. The duplicate cartridge reels were discarded for the CMS output. Also, CMS "Name" reports were generated on various dates during the year, with redundant information on each. Many of these redundant reports were discarded.
