Processing History
The WOR Collection was processed by Michelle Dubert-Bellrichard in 2022.
Due to the size of the collection, the WOR Collection was first processed at the box-level. Regular updates will be made to the finding aid as collection materials continue to be rehoused.
The WOR Collection was initially rehoused, surveyed, and described by National Audio-Visual Conservation Center staff in 2012, when the collection was transferred from offsite storage to the National Audio-Visual Conservation Center in Culpeper, Va. Due to the poor physical state of the original containers, staff quickly cleaned the papers and transferred them to new boxes. The movement of materials from original to new containers was tracked via an inventory spreadsheet, which formed the starting point for this finding aid. Due to the hasty and diffuse nature of the project, some inconsistencies in description may persist.
