Acquisition Information

Deborah Jean Handy donated the initial installment his collection to the Washington State University Libraries on Nov. 9, 2022, where it was retained as UA 2022-14. The second and final installment of these materials was received from Debbie at MASC on Jan. 3, 2023, and incorporated into the existing accession number.

Processing Note

University Archivist Mark O’English accessioned this collection in December of 2022. The initial intake was two boxes (with two more arriving in January, 2023), but all national publications, which were a large part of the donation, were discarded. Prior to discarding, we checked with Michigan State University, which holds the closest thing we could identify to a national archive, and the ones that they lacked were sent there. Also discarded were four plaques listed the winners of the Omicron Nu Scholarship Award, but those were photocopied prior to being discarded, so as to preserve the information. WSU student Sam Boling processed this collection in early 2023. Duplicates of documents and photos were discarded, and documents were reorganized by subject.
