Processing Information
This collection was re-processed in March 2012. The original order was maintained through the initial arrangement and was modified slightly to create a more accessible collection. Two separate series related to technical reports were combined into a single series. Folders are arranged by alphabetical order by title. Documents were interleaved with acid-frree paper as needed, and slides and photographs were sleeved in appropriate preservation enclosures. Several items were discarded from the collection: NCAR Staff Notes, duplicate records, curriculum vitae and resumes that did not belong to Dr. Newkirk, human resources records, student records, administrative records that revealed sensitive information such as banking information or social security numbers, and titles currently held by the library.
