Immediate Source of Acquisition
The collection was gifted by Tina Reynolds in 2019.
Appraisal
In 2019 when the collection was accessioned, approximately 3 record cartons of duplicate materials, sensitive financial, and personal records were removed from the collection, including payroll documents, receipts, and documents listing member and volunteer contacts. An audiocassette of Mariah Carey music was also removed.
