Finding aids for archival and manuscript collections

"Archivists prepare guides to archival and manuscript collections called finding aids. These typically contain a prose description of the collection and the person or organization that produced it, as well as a list of the contents that tells users how the collection is structured and where to find particular materials in it." The Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections and the Kheel Center for Labor-Management Documentation and Archives have finding aids for several thousand of their archival and manuscript collections. This web site allows the user to search the finding aids or to view an alphabetical list of those held by the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections or the Kheel Center.
