Finding Aid, Lake George Mitigation

Summary

The MCX-CMAC utilizes the standard archival practice of “unique naming” of collections. The purpose of this is to avoid redundant and confusing collection names commonly found with archaeological investigations. Therefore, this collection is referred to as "Lake George Mitigation.” This naming practice is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folder titles, and box labels. The linear extent of this collection is four (4) inches.

All field and catalog records were duplicated according to the Cobb Institute’s requirements. The copies were also packaged in acid-free folders and labeled identically to the original folders, with the exception of a notation indicating that the folder contains copies. These copies are stored separately from the originals. Four rolls of black and white and color photographs, negatives and prints, were removed from this collection to more appropriate storage. A 3 A” floppy disk was removed from this collection and placed in electronic storage. A hard copy of the data stored on the disk was made and placed with the collection in folders 20 and 21.
