Finding aids are guides to archival collections, describing primary sources in detail. They provide a description of the
collection and, at varying levels of analysis, of individual items in the collection. Each finding aid will generally
include a description of the scope and content, notes on the arrangement, and a detailed
inventory of the collection. Finding Aids are intended to give the viewer information to help

Finding aids have been created for only a portion of the Center's collections. The creation of finding aids is a time consuming
process, and staff and volunteers are continuing to work on creating finding aids for the entire collection. To see a listing
