The papers of Victor Gold were donated to the University of Maryland by Victor Gold's daughter, Jamie Gold. The material was received in May 2018 and February 2019.
This collection has received minimal processing. Upon arrival, the materials were re-housed into archival quality boxes and loose items were placed in acid-free folders. Folders were left in the original order in which they were received; however, loose materials were placed in folders and added in the order that they were found. Some of the photographs and foamcore were removed from frames, all of which are noted in the preliminary inventory.
