Subseries 8A, Building and Construction Files /repositories/4/archival_objects/1354067 4 boxes 1922-1988 Scope and Contents

The Building and Construction Files subseries primarily consists of Chief of Building and Technical Services G. Vinton Duffield's files on Firestone Library's planning, construction and furnishing. The subseries also contains files on memorials within Firestone Library and donors who provided for these rooms, furnishings, plaques, and other gifts to be incorporated into the new Library building. Records of Firestone's post-1949 construction and expansion, in particular the 1988 wing addition, as well as the planning and construction of other campus libraries, are included here as well.

Arrangement

No arrangement has been imposed on this subseries. At the time of transfer, the records were grouped by subject, and then arranged chronologically within those groupings. This filing system has been retained.
