After Dr. Saalman's death in 1995, his widow Jeanne Saalman moved the papers to her home in Newport. Upon the donation of the materials to the university in March 2015, the papers were retrieved by the University Archivist and Special Collections Librarian, Genna Duplisea, and interns. Jeanne Saalman and Daphne Saalman Kaliadjian donated the materials in summer 2015.

Additional accruals are not expected. |
| Processing information: |
Throughout the collection were folder, box, and envelope labels that were illegible due to handwriting style, ink deterioration, or the archivist's unfamiliarity with a language. These have been photocopied and included to preserve the information on them when the handwriting or language rendered the original content illegible. Processing also included preservation photocopying for documents on thermal paper.The folder groupings of materials largely reflects Dr. Saalman's organization and labeling of folders, but the arrangement and groupings of each series was imposed by the archivist. Photographs originally foldered with related textual materials remain in their context. The series of photographs contains prints, negatives, and slides which were stored separately. Relevant textual materials, such as annotations, correspondence, or envelope labels, remain with the photographs.The series of photographs has been organized and inventoried but is not yet described in this finding aid.The collection was processed by University Archivist and Special Collections Librarian Genna Duplisea, who also wrote the finding aid. |
