Level 1 processed collections are:
- all small As and Bssmaller collections (1 to 2 file boxes) with no restrictions that are well described , most described only in a bibliographic record
- collections of any size with no restrictions, and materials in folders that have a (however basic) online container list
Past practice at Schlesinger has been to open smaller (less than 5 LF) collections to research with only a bibliographic record for description. Beginning in 2019, we shifted our practices to the following approach:
We should attempt to make an online container list/finding aid for any new accession that is open to research and larger than a small A or B. This will help us going forward as our systems shift and change and collections that are open to research become requestable to researchers through Aeon (using an ASpace resource record and inventory). See the separate page on accessioning work with new collections for further specific guidance.
