EXAMPLE: Process of appraising electronic files for March for Women's Lives Records (from Cat Holbrook):

Using my folder titles and scope notes, I knew that the electronic material was duplicated in the collection, and since the electronic material was blank forms, telephone scripts, and things of that nature, I made the decision that we did not need to keep these materials in electronic form."
ACCESS considerations. Can these files be linked through the finding aid? (Are there restrictions, has the donor agreed that material can be made available online? Are restrictions different for different types of files?)
