Scope and Content

13 boxes ; The records we received from Barbara Raley were triaged into 12 letter size boxes. Some of the contents ended up in the Research Center, especially the books, and others were sorted into the Archives. There was a considerable amount of duplication, so the amount of material was thinned considerably. See records following this one for details on the holdings.
