In order to reduce the need for researchers to view several finding aids to conduct research in a single entity’s papers or records, we will now try to incorporate smaller groups of addenda to into previously existing finding aids as a matter of course. In these instances addenda will be refoldered , and labeled with the existing MC #s, and arranged intellectually in previously created series when possible. In some cases such interfiling may not be possible and addenda may simply be listed at the end of a collection. will be housed in boxes that continue the box numbering schema already determined. In some circumstances, listing new folders intellectually within the finding aid is warranted. In others, adding a new series that lists addenda separately is a better option.
Treatment of addenda should be decided on a case-by-case basis in consultation with your team lead. One of the issues to take into consideration is whether the photographs in the original container list have been cataloged (using the accession number) and would therefore have to be renumbered.
