Manuscript collections often contain printed material, and we often do not keep this with the collection. If material can be given an item record in Hollis, it may be better served living in the Library's Book and periodical collection. If it is heavily annotated or there is some other compelling reason to keep it with the collection, discuss with your team leadKelcy. Your initial survey is when you should begin to consider the issues related to printed material.

If your collection has a large amount of printed material, it's a good idea to sort it all out and go over what it is and what you plan to do with it with your team leadKelcy. Student workers can search Hollis and OCLC for information about each title necessary for appraisal.That will give you a better idea of what to do with the material before you discuss it with book curator Marylene Altieri the curators.
Newsletters are periodic publications, often low-budget, and often created by organizations or groups. Because we collect the records of a number of organizations, we also collect those organizations' newsletters. Newsletters are sometimes a great research tool for organizations that may have been ephemeral, or produced no other printed documentation. For more information about what to do with newsletters go here.

Serials (other than newsletters) may be journals of professional organizations, women's magazines, or other journals related to women that we subscribe to or collect. If you have serials that fill holes in the Schlesinger's collections, fill out a separation form for each, and then give them directly to Jonathan TuttleLee Sullivan, the Serials Catalogerhead of published & printed materials.
Please list their titles and a date range of issues as "transferred to the Schlesinger Library books and printed materials collection" in the Separation Record of the finding aid.
