Additional Description

Series Arrangement

Series 6, Judith R. Shapiro, was organized in multiple ways upon receipt, which the archivist reorganized for easier access and reference. The archivist arranged this series into six subseries:

  • Subseries 6.1, Internal communications
  • Subseries 6.2, External communications
  • Subseries 6.3, Committees
  • Subseries 6.4, Research, reports, statistics
  • Subseries 6.5, Presidential events and speeches
  • Subseries 6.6, President’s office and biographical files
The archivist, whenever possible, organized the materials into these topical subseries. The contents themselves are described at the file level. The archivist conducted high level physical rearrangement to allow the digital materials to be easily integrated into a single system of arrangement. The digital materials, at the highest directory level, were placed into a new folder with a new file name.
