Printing the finding aid

When your finding aid has been posted online, please print a copy for the department's control files.

• Open the finding aid in Hollis for Archival Discovery
• Click "View PDF" button in the top left corner
• Open PDF in Adobe Acrobat
• The PDF will open; it has a title page, page headers, and numbered pages already.
• Print a copy (double sided please)
• File this copy in the Manuscript Department's files in three-drawer lateral cabinet outside 420. Each finding aid receives its own folder and is filed alphabetically by collection name; the MC number is listed on the left side of the folder tab, with the collection name in the middle (e.g.: MC 468      Fisher, MFK;  or 2005-M96    National Organization for Women).

Should you need to send a hard copy to the donor, you can also do that (see Communicating with donors)

As of July 2018, we will no longer print finding aid copies for Research Services binders.
