Processing History
Melissa Lindberg processed the collection, beginning in 2015 and completing work in 2016. The collection was organized by family members before it was transferred to the American Folklife Center, and the processor maintained that order. In rare cases where original order was not apparent, the processor assigned an order. Most of the collection was rehoused. Unlabeled folders were assigned labels.
Sara Ludewig processed an accrual to the collection in 2024. She ripped optical media from CDA to WAV file format and matched the analog tapes with their digital surrogates.
