More or less finished the processing plan. Just a few more boxes to get through. I'm not sure what will be done with certain things in this collection, like overhead transparencies, slides, and so on. I suspect that the Auxiliary Library Facility allows for a bit of slack when processing them--they won't deteriorate in the strict climate control, so there's no real need to make the usual backups and/or replacements.
There's also a few computer discs and cassette tapes that unfortunately I don't think anyone is in a hurry to transfer to another format. I always find it sad that more time, effort, and money can't be spent on updating media in archives and libraries. I feel like there's a lot of history we're forgetting and never going to recover.
