The end processor position's function is to implement physical control and participate in intellectual control of archival collections. This position helps coordinate the preparation of manuscript materials for labeling, handling and shelving, including materials that only require an exterior label or are going offsite; prepares and applies labels to single items and some smaller boxed collections; advises and trains staff who participate in these activities for boxed collections and single items, whether cataloged in full detail, or minimally processed accessions; finds locations for and shelves all manuscript materials that stay onsite. The end-processor treats or advises and consults with processing staff on items that have restrictions or other special needs, making sure that necessary information appears on the labels and in online records, and that they are routed to the vault or newly-created locations when necessary.
