This collection has been minimally processed. The collection came to the archive with some rough organization. The processing archivist arranged files chronologically and in groups reflecting Furlaud's career path.
All original folders were replaced with acid-free folders, unlabeled folders were given titles, and some similar separate files were combined into one folder. Relevant newspaper and magazine clippings were copied onto acid-free paper.
The entire collection was reboxed.
