Oversize materials were flattened and stored in appropriate oversize folders. Slides were sleeved in appropriate preservation enclosures. Metal fasteners were removed and replaced with plastic clips. Duplicate records and administrative records that revealed sensitive information such as salary or social security numbers were discarded from the collection.
