Processing Information
In Spring 2024, Jasper Nash conducted an item-level inventory of the memorabilia and incorporated this information into the Resource Record. Memorabilia that were housed in mixed containers with items from other collections were removed and placed into new housing with the exception of Oversized File 1. This file, containing both TWIU and BCTGM materials, was not changed.
Most of the memorabilia items originated from Accession 1977-007. However, item 433 (TWIU "Union Made" printing block) is listed as originating from Accession 68-3.
