- Processing History
- This is an “artificial” collection, created by Betty Auman, who selected and pulled items to be placed here, beginning in the late 1970s. Some items are easily served, others are more problematic; requests need to be evaluated individually.
- Provenance
- Most items came through copyright deposit as Eus, PAs and PAUs, most of which were subsequently pulled and cataloged as M1500s and M1503s, some materials were created for Library concerts and are uncatalogued.
