Papers of Frederic A. Eidsness, Jr.

Processing of the original collection was completed in February 2002. Some metal fasteners were removed, and the collection was refoldered and reboxed. After a major addition, collection reprocessing was completed in March 2013. The finding aid (originally by Cynthia Rand) was almost completely re-written. The collection name was formalized from the Papers of Eric Eidsness to the Papers of Frederic A. Eidsness, Jr. The second accession arrived generally sorted by material type. That system was retained as the series organization. Each series arrived in disorder, and each was reorganized either chronologically, or alphabetically by title or speaker. Because of the small amount of material, the original accession was incorporated into the new series organization to create a more cohesive collection. Paper clips and rusted staples were removed, and materials were reboxed and housed in acid-free folders. Duplicates beyond two copies were not retained. Similar processing was performed on the 2014 and 2016 accessions and was completed in February 2017. Similar was performed on the 2018 accession and was completed in May 2021. Also, Social Security numbers were redacted. Most of the material was added as series 9 and 10.
