Internal Digital Media Note
During accessioning, the CDs were given digital object number AS061_DIG001 - AS061_DIG165
Alternative Forms of Material

Processing History
Processed by Leah Loscutoff, 2009-2010. Student employees Cesar Gallagos, Anne Ngyuen, Alice Kwak, and Thao Le helped with
some processing.
Processing Note
Over the years the University Communications photographs were processed piecemeal as different accessions arrived. To enhance
access, this collection has been completely reprocessed. For the most part, the original order of the collection has been
retained, but series spanning multiple accessions have been brought together. This collection has been minimally processed
in that images are described sheet by sheet, or folder by folder, rather than at the item level. Although most items are sleeved
in archivally safe sleeves, not all of the photographs in the subject files are sleeved. Researchers will need to use gloves
when looking through the subject files. Although physical processing was kept to a minimum, detailed description of the photographs
will enhance access.
