Arrangement: The collection arrived to the Library in five boxes. In most cases, the contents of the boxes had been divided alphabetically by the name of the artist (excluding the audiovisual material). Some of the collection was in alphabetical order, however some file boxes, folders and loose papers were out of order.
Faxes included in the collection were fading on arrival to the Library.
Quantity: 43 videocassette(s). 112 folder(s). 1 5" reel(s).
Processing information: Not all names associated with the collection have been indexed.
Original order has been partially preserved by the archivist. As the collection was largely out of order on arrival to the Library, alphabetical order has been imposed by the archivist where possible.
Where there are faded faxes throughout the collection, these have been copied onto acid-free paper and housed with the original.
