One of our goals in holding the records of an organization is to have a complete run of its publications, particularly its newsletters. In the past the library ideally held two copies: one, an archival copy, housed in the manuscript department (filed by organization name in a MFD or Master File Drawer or with the collection), and one, for general use, in the periodical department. With the transition to a closed stack environment in 2005 and thFe the end of the backlog project in 2013, newsletters of "our" organizations are cataloged and housed in the Published and Printed Materials Department.
