Brief description of processing procedure
The records in this collection were located in the Black Archives ready reference room. After a preliminary survey was conducted, it was discovered that the records of the Barbara Carey-Shuler were in no particular order, only kept in a large binder folder. To process the collection, the information under Carey-Shuler was placed into categories, and then transferred into acid-free file folders. After being appropriately labeled, the folders were organized in alphabetical order and placed in an acid-free box. A content listing was made, and the files were inputted into the collections database. Collection appropriate labels were attached, and the boxes were stored in the collection room. This collection was processed at the file folder level and is now categorized multiple series.
Archivist Note
These records were stored along with the Personalities C
Collection, and since this is a community archives, it will be an
ongoing collection. The collection includes several photographs
and manuscripts of Carey-Shuler, and will continue to grow as
more information is made available to the archives. Upon
reviewing the collection, I made the decision to separate it from the
personalities C that only contained an obituary. I will place those
removed in our collection because of its content. Researchers will
be able to cross-reference Carey-Shuler of records with other
material in the archives collection. Examples of other collections
include, Sites & Landmarks, Civil Rights (Civil Disturbance), the
Sawyer Collection, and Neighborhoods & Communities.
