Processing Information

Processing and creation of finding aid was performed by Stephen Bacchetta, the Records Manager and Digital Archivist for the Monsignor William Noé Field Archives & Special Collections Center, in 2022. Processing tasks included the encoding of the finding aid, the numbering of the collectoin, and the re-housing of materials within the collection. Series information was created at the time of processing, as there was no discernable or logical order of the files following the 2012 accession.
