Processing information: Manuscript and photographic materials donated by Stothart had been described separately as two format based descriptive groups. Items within the groups were described with differing level of detail. As the two collections were of the same provenance, they were incorporated into a new collection hierarchy in May 2017. The existing scant item records were included unchanged, along with newly described material. The series arrangement of manuscript and photographic materials is an order imposed by the Library. Not all names associated with the collection are indexed. Audiovisual material of the same provenance, which had previously been separated out to Oral History and Sound, was added back into this collection in April 2022.
