Acquisition
The Archive of Folk Culture, American Folklife Center (AFC), accessioned the Working in Paterson Project Collection, the product of an AFC-sponsored project, in 1995. During the digital conversion process, from 2000 to 2002, manuscript materials and electronic media were also added to the collection. Initial processing of the collection was done by Robin Fanslow. Christa Maher curated the online presentation of the collection from November 2000 to May 2002. Rosemary Graham arranged and processed the collection and created the initial version of the collection in September 2002. In July 2004, Sarah Bradley Leighton and Stephanie Schmitz resolved outstanding issues with the sound recordings series and added additional materials that were found after the original processing had been completed. All modifications are reflected in this updated version of the collection guide and its appendices.
