Administrative Information
Acquisition Information
The papers of Ai Ogawa were given to the Library of Congress by Ai's sister, Roslynn M. O'Caroll, in 2022.
Processing History
The papers of Ai Ogawa were arranged and described by Connie L. Cartledge with the assistance of Miles David Lawlor in 2022. The collection came to the Library with very little order. The papers were sorted and arranged into series to improve their navigation.
Digital files were received as part of the Ai Ogawa Papers on compact discs, each of which was assigned a unique digital ID number. Use the digital ID number to request access copies of the files associated with each media. A description of the standard processes taken on all born digital records can be found in the Processing History Note: Born Digital Collection Material at https://hdl.loc.gov/loc.mss/eadmss.digital.
