Elizabeth Kellogg
Method of Acquisition
The NCAR Archives acquired the Kellogg Papers through gifts in 1985 from William Kellogg and in 2008 from his widow, Elizabeth.
Appraisal Information
Publications were examined for Kellogg's handwritten notes. Those containing his notes were retained, all others were discarded. Copies of photographs beyond 1 copy, copies of documents beyond 2 copies, and routine correspondence were discarded.
Accruals and Additions
No further accruals are expected.
Separated Materials
Two expanding folders labeled "scrapbook materials" were returned to the family upon the completion of processing in February 2010. The contents were unorganized and loose. Material types included family correspondence, clippings, drawings, awards, and photographs.
Processing Information
Processing was completed in January 2010. Upon acquisition, materials had little order.
Materials were re-housed in acid-free folders and boxes. Documents were interleaved with acid-free paper as needed and visual materials were housed in archival sleeves. Metal fasteners were removed and replaced with plastic clips when needed. Folded materials were un-folded and flattened when possible.
Correspondence materials are arranged by the sender. When the sender sent two or more pieces of communication, those materials were placed in their own folder and titled by the sender's name. All other correspondence was arranged alphabetically in one folder and labeled "A-Z."
Materials are arranged by type and folders are arranged alphabetically by title. Oversize materials are located in box 4, arranged by type and then alphabetically. Bound journals are located in box 5 and arranged by the number Kellogg assigned.
