Arrangement
The files as they were received by Rare Books and Special Collections were arranged and labeled by Hugh McLennan (1927-2004). Upon donation of the materials his son, Neil McLennan, advised that Professor McLennan had begun at one point to sort through family papers. The folders he created were arranged by family member and labeled with each family member’s name. It is unknown how these materials were arranged previously.
