The records were received in fairly good order. For the most part, original order was adhered to in creating the archival files. Exceptions to this rule are to be found mainly in the series dealing with publications, since what there were of these had to be extracted from other files. Newspaper clippings files were only selectively kept; those that appear in the Los Angeles Times or other easily available newspapers were not kept. Some photocopies of newsapers were made for preservation purposes. The Director of the Center has discussed continuing donations of records to the CSWA.
