The Coleman Brothers collection contains over 400 items, which I have arranged into 33 folders contained in two boxes. The vendor supplied the materials in the following order:
Correspondence between the two Coleman Brothers
Correspondence to and from Isaac Coleman
Correspondence to and from James Coleman
Correspondence involving various other Coleman family members
Manuscripts (including James Coleman lecture notes)
Documents - legal
Receipts, school records, miscellaneous printed materials.
Photographs of family members
Using the vendor's descriptions, I verified the contents of the folders. Some folders held too many items, so I rearranged them to sub-groupings. I am entering EAD data for each folder, including naming and labeling the folders that provide the best guidance to researchers; the number of items, dates, and description of papers within each folder. This process involving two boxes of over 400 pieces in 20+ folders is going to take a few weeks.
