- Unknown
- Processing information:
Collection was created when two boxes were found to not be processed though sorted into categories: Antebellum and Civil War Newspapers and Reconstruction, Gilded Age, and Early 20the Century Newspapers. These often also had unique Newspaper manuscript numbers but no information about how or when they were acquired. Two items that were housed with the Moore Collection OS Box 1 but were not a part of that collection were also moved into this collection at the time of re-housing to avoid confusion with the Moore Collection. OS Box 3 was processed in pieces from February-May 1965 and covers a variety of accessions. Items in drawer 1 of Map Case 1 was added when it was determined those were collection-less.
