Archive Notes

The notebooks consisted of news clippings taped to lined notebook paper installed in 3-ring binders. Since the adhesive on the tape was starting to fail, the decision was made to rehouse them before items became separated from the notebooks. The notebooks were arranged chronologically and that order was retained. There were a few loose items not attached to the notebook, so those are filed separately. Ephemera that was interfiled in the notebooks were kept in their original order. The notebooks were discarded.
