Physical Characteristics and Technical Requirements
Many of the unprocessed and underprocessed folders from later series are in poor condition, are not in archival-quality folders and many are dirty, grimy or showing signs of being exposed to a fire. Patrons should be advised to wear a mask and possibly gloves while handling these materials in order to reduce inhalation of foreign matter.

Materials Specific Details
There are several folders that use the term "negro" or "racial problem" found throughout the collection. As the collection was only inventoried and not processed, these titles have not been altered and exist to serve as part of the historical record.
Materials Specific Details
This collection was processed in the early 1990s by volunteers within the Episcopal Diocese of Tennessee and came to Sewanee in 2010, where it was further processed by a volunteer without archival training. Contents continued to accrue until the present (late 2018) and were largely semi-processed, underprocessed or not processed at all. Additionally, it is clear that even since the initial processing in 2010, patron use has gotten folders out of original order. This collection was inventoried, and not processed, in 2021. All folder names and order within the boxes were taken directly from the physical arrangement of the folders as they currently stand. The names of the folders themselves are reflective of original title, restrictions and historical context and have not been altered in any way.
