Administrative Information
| ABOUT THE COLLECTION | |
| Acquisition: | Material was purchased from a private individual in July 2007. The papers had been found in a piece of furniture formerly owned by the Goelet family. No original order was apparent, though the sellers had arranged the material into six 3-ring binders and one group of loose material. The binders bore the following labels: Goelet European documents; Goelet NY documents; Goelet Newport, RI (2); Hunt autographs; Robert Goelet. Items were in plastic sleeves, though some sleeves contained several pieces and many individual items were still folded. There was no chronological order to the material. |
| Accruals: | No additional accruals are expected. |
| Processing information: | Maria Bernier, University Archivist, removed the items from their sleeves, rearranged them into new series, and put them in chronological order. New finding aid produced in 2008 July by Maria Bernier, University Archivist. |
