Accruals Note

APPENDIX A: Detailed Processing History In 1968, Historic New England acquired the Codman Estate in Lincoln, Massachusetts, as a bequest from Dorothy Sarah Frances May Codman (1883-1968), the last of the Codman family members to reside in the house. The papers within the house at the time of the acquisition formed the basis of this collection. In 1979, the Library and Archives received a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to engage in a sixteen-month collection processing project, in which the papers of twenty-six Codman related family members were processed. The 1979 finding aid was arranged chronologically by generation, and thereunder by individual. A biographical sketch, scope and content note, and inventory was provided for each family member. The inventory for each family member was divided into eight subseries: correspondence; diaries; financial record; legal records; literary; maps and drawings; printed matter; and scrapbooks. When fully processed, the collection was housed in 228 file boxes (approx. 95.08 linear feet). In 2013-2014, through a National Historical Publications and Records Commission grant (Award Number: NAR13-RH-50051-13: "Family Manuscript Collections: Expanding Online Access to New England Heritage Project"), twenty-six Historic New England manuscript collections of family papers were processed or reprocessed to meet current archival standards and best practices, including the Codman family papers. DACS-compliant finding aids were created as Microsoft Word documents, and the finding aid data was entered into the MINISIS M2A content management system. From M2A, the finding aid data was made discoverable and fully searchable online. Prior to the 2013-2014 grant project, many updates and notations had also been added to the original 1979 finding aid. During the 2013-2014 project, the physical condition and organization of the collection was maintained and unaltered. However, the original arrangement of the series (in chronological order by generation) was updated to reflect an alphabetical order by surname (when applicable, women were identified by married name). Most subseries headings and folder titles were maintained (excluding updates to full and proper names, nicknames, life dates, etc.). The folder arrangement within series and subseries was altered, as applicable, to reflect either a chronological or alphabetical order. A few folders were reassigned to their correct series or subseries as errors in the original processing were discovered. Notations, updates, and other corrections applied to the original 1979 finding aid were incorporated into the updated 2013-2014 finding aid. The original 1979 history notes and scope and content notes were edited and updated to reflect new knowledge, updated information, and changes to the finding aid. In 2016, the finding aid was edited to improve usability, with format altered but content unchanged from the 2013-2014 finding aid.
