The A.C. Warner Collection was partially processed during the creation of a digital image database. However, because of the project’s limited scope, several aspects of archival collection processing remained incomplete over a decade later. For our project, we collocated duplicate photographs, removed photos outside of the collection’s scope, and incorporated relevant items that had yet to be inventoried. We rehoused materials in archival folders and sleeves, and developed a new organization scheme. Finally, we created a new finding aid using the EAD standard. The result is a better organized collection, paired with an improved finding aid for patron use.
