Abstract

Traditional manuscript and Archives collections are now seeing the addition of more artifacts as contemporary cultural production and its social representations are used for analysis in various curriculum. Creating finding aids for this material has to take into consideration the historical and contextual rhetoric surrounding the material and has to be a part of the thinking process when finding aids are being created.
