Finding Aid
A finding aid is a document that assists researchers in navigating a large archival collection. It usually provides a biography of the individual who created the collection, a chronology, a brief overview of the material, and a folder-by-folder list of contents. Finding aids for distinct collections will be added to this site as they become available.
