Source of arrangement and folder titles information
Folder titles and sequences were reversed-engineered from the index entries created in the 1990s. This work was done by archivist Kate Bowers working from home during the COVID19 pandemic. Thus, they may not reflect the actual markings on the folders nor the actual order of the folders in the boxes.
