If materials from an unprocessed or in-process collection are selected for use in an exhibition, the committee members will need to work closely with the processing archivist in order to confirm the necessary collection metadata for citation and references. Details such as final collection name and box/folder location will likely not be available for unprocessed or in-process materials, so alternative identifying information may need to be used in order to create useable citations.
If not-yet-cataloged published materials are selected for use, please consult the Head of Printed and Published Materials so they can assign the material to the appropriate cataloger in preparation for display. This will ensure that they item has a full and accurate catalog record that can be used for reference and citation by the exhibition committee.
