Big Sandy River Basin Navigation Study 1978

Summary

This collection is referred to as "Big Sandy River Basin Navigation Study 1978.” This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folders, and the box labels. The extent of this collection is a quarter (0.25) of a linear inch.

The document dates to 1978 and was originally housed in an acidic folder within an acidfree box with other document collections from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Huntington District. The document was in good condition. Metal contaminants, including a staple and paperclip, were removed using a microspatula. One rust stain remained. Staple holes and any wrinkles or creases in the document were flattened using a bone tool. The collection contains one piece of correspondence and a public meeting announcement.

The digital materials in this collection were processed by the Veterans Curation Program (VCP), and include a finding aid, original investigation report, and scanned asset key. Additional digital materials held by the VCP include, an archives database, correspondence, document folder listing, initial data collection, and notes. For additional information on these materials, refer to the finding aid.
