Physical Facet

The collection contains blueprints which have been stored between sheets of acid-free paper and require special care.

Processing Information

The materials were arranged in series based on the type of plan and placed in acid-free folders. There was no obvious pattern to the original arrangement, so the materials were rearranged and put in chronological order. The collection contains blueprints, which were layered between sheets of acid-free paper within the folders for added protection.
