Processing note:


            The three accessions in this collection were originally cataloged as three record groups : MSS 40 (1986 gift), MSS 59 (1979 gift), and MSS 91 (1988 gift). As the records were all generated by the same union, they were all brought together in MSS 40 in 2000. They were also housed in archival folders and cataloged at that time.
