Provenance and Acquisition Information
The records in this collection were donated over a period of three years in five accessions: SARCV 2003-03, SARCV 2003-01, SARCV 2002-02, SARCV 2001-03, SARCV 2000-08. The donations were approved by Ms. Rosalba Kampman and the materials transferred from the Society’s offices in Bethesda, MD. This collection was processed by Rose King and Kristen Taynor under the supervision of Marcia Frank Peri and completed in November 2003. The finding aid was written by Ms. Kristen Taynor in January 2004.
The majority of the records having come from a few prior officers were found to be in relatively good order but there are notable gaps in the records. Information on the early years is fairly comprehensive as are the more current records but there is a real dearth of documentation for the 1970’s. Multiple copies have been disposed of whenever there were more than two copies of a given document, as have general invoices, receipts and personnel information such as time sheets and payroll documents.
