Processing Information
This collection was acquired from the Dr. Kuettner's JOSS office upon his death. While great care was taken to preserve original order, the collection had multiple arrangment schemes, primarily topical, but also chronological, as well as folders with no apparent organization. Due to the overlapping organization schemes, the records were reorganized where necessary by the Archivist to preserve the primary topical organization scheme by the creator. Photographs were rehoused in preservation enclouses, and oversize items were removed from folders and rehoused. Audio-Visual materials were organized together and rehoused.
