Anne Harter Collection of Credit Women International (CWI) Scrapbooks, Harrisonburg, Virginia Chapter

In order to streamline the process of applying collection numbers, Special Collections staff completed a large-scale renumbering campaign in 2017-2019. This collection was previously cataloged as SC 5060.

During this time, the collection was also minimally reprocessed in order to incorporate a third scrapbook which was donated in 2019 and better stabilize the materials through physical rehousing. The intellectual arrangement, including folder titles, were retained. During initial processing in 2013, the scrapbooks, which presumably were donated as bound objects, were inexplicably disbound and disassembled. The photographs, printed material, and assorted ephemera comprising the scrapbooks were removed from their respective scrapbooks, foldered into chronological or topical groupings, and described at the item level. Given that item-level discription is a highly unusual practice for printed ephemera and photographs contained within or removed from a scrapbook, the materials contained within the 1991-1994 scrapbook were not individually described. The description created for the 1984-1986 and 1988-1989 scrapbooks was retained.
