Arrangement
Series 4 was organized in multiple ways upon receipt, which the archivist revised for easier access and reference. The archivist arranged this series into three subseries with additional sub-subseries: Subseries 4.1, Surveys and questionnaires; Sub-subseries 4.1.1. Faculty and staff; Sub-subseries 4.1.2. Students and alums; Sub-subseries 4.1.3. Administrative, academic, and college-wide affairs; Subseries 4.2, Common datasets and databooks; Subseries 4.3, Topical Data; Sub-subseries 4.3.1, Administrative and student; Sub-subseries 4.3.2, Barnard College-Columbia University relations; Sub-subseries 4.3.3, Academic affairs; Sub-subseries 4.3.4, Faculty. 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.
