Creating the Project Folder

Once a processor has been assigned a processing project, they will need to create a project folder to house documents associated with that project. 

This folder will eventually be housed in a folder on one of the Bentley's network drives and its documents will generally include:

• Different versions of finding aids associated with the processing project.

• Completed MARC record forms that processors will fill out that the Lead Archivist for Collections Management will use to create or update a collection's MARC record in the University of Michigan Library's online catalog.

• A processing plan describing how the accession(s) in this project will be processed.

• Other documents used to arrange and/or describe archival material.   

Consult the Pre-Processing checklist from the Processing Team Trello board (internal link) for specific tasks and guidance in creating this folder.
