February 10, 2021 - 10:15am by Anonymous (not verified)

For missing material not found before processing is complete:

  • Enter a record for the missing material into the NOS database. The record should include a PROBM note stating that the material was identified as missing when the collection was processed, and indicating the source of information that led you to identify the material as missing (e.g. the material was listed in a preliminary finding aid but was not with the collection).
  • Make sure to notify the curator as well, in a WRITTEN memo with a photocopy of any documentation attached.
