Processing Information

In the summer of 2019, Allison Riehl reviewed the control file and updated the preliminary inventory, accession and resource records. Revisions to the resource record include editing the descriptive content of the abstract, conditions governing access, custodial history, processing information, and scope and contents. Collection arrangement and archival objects were added to the resource record. Two series were created based on the materials and the preliminary list. Materials not in acid free folders were rehoused in acid free folders. Folders with no titles or misleading titles were reconstructed. Copied materials that are readily available elsewhere were removed from the collection and discarded. Please see the existence and location of originals note for a list of the removed materials with links to the accessible materials.

During review for processing, it became evident that research and copies of original documents were provided by Paul Brenner to Stuart Kaufman for Stuart Kaufman's book. Many of the copies are from historical newspapers and other archival collections and do not appear to be from the personal collection of Paul Brenner. The collection title was changed from the Paul Brenner papers to the Stuart Kaufman collection in order to more accurately reflect the nature of the materials.
