Collection Overview
Collection Description & Creator Information
- Arrangement
Within individual boxes, the order in which files were placed by the ACLU has been maintained. Boxes in series one, two, five, six, seven, and eight are in no particular order; boxes in series four have been ordered by court case and by record type.
Folder lists may contain duplicate or missing folder numbers; these lists are provided by the ACLU and may reflect the removal of some materials before transfer to Princeton University.
Collection History
- Appraisal
Some confidential records have been removed from the collection by the ACLU prior to being transferred to Princeton University. Additionally, as confidential records are discovered by Mudd Library staff during legal restriction reviews, these records are removed and periodically returned to the ACLU.
Approximately 1.5 linear feet of materials pertaining to the case Weaver v. Nebo School District were removed from the collection and returned to the ACLU in August 2015.
- Processing Information
This collection was processed by Maureen Callahan during the course of several transfers in 2011 and 2012 and by Rachel Van Unen in 2015-2017. Descriptive metadata was created by staff at the American Civil Liberties Union archives before transfer to the Mudd Library. Finding aid written by Adriane Hanson and Maureen Callahan in April 2011 and updated upon further accruals by Rachel Van Unen.
In September 2024 Will Clements began rearranging the finding aid to incorporate annual accrual series into a more functional series structure. While this is in progress, users are advised that the overall series structure will be a hybrid of annual accrual series and the new functional series. All open materials are still available for research during this process.
