Abstract
Abstract The Hamlin Garland papers first came to the University of Southern California (USC) in 1940 and since then, various library staff, researchers, and student workers have applied different and sometimes conflicting processing strategies over a period of almost 80 years. In 2017, a National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) grant made possible the digitization and description of Garland’s correspondence. This gave current USC archivists the opportunity to address some of the issues and threats facing the Garland papers, while also providing new methods of access and discovery to this valuable collection.
