In addition to paper records, this collection also contains digital archival materials, including thank you notes, biographical materials, promotional materials, fliers (both posted and working versions), bookmarks, and MS Word documents featuring biographical introductory notes for speakers. These can be accessed in the Special Collections Reading Room by advance request. These materials may require up to one week to access.
