Administrative Information
| ABOUT THE COLLECTION | |
| Acquisition: | The collection was given to Rhode Island College in 1968 by Martha Bacon Ballinger, with the consent of her husband, Ronald B. Ballinger, as well as her sister, Helen Bacon Westlake, and Helen’s husband, J.T. Westlake. |
| Processing information: | After the collection arrived in 1968 as part of the Nathaniel Terry Bacon papers, Rhode Island College Professor Norman Smith conducted preliminary sorting of the collection. The processing of the papers and the preparation of the original finding aid was funded by a National Historical Publications and Records Commission grant. The initial finding aid was prepared by Norene Rickson, library assistant in RIC Special Collections, with the assistance of Michael Kohl, Assistant Librarian in Special Collections. In 2023, the finding aid was converted to current archival standards by Special Collections intern Melissa Moniz, under the supervision of Veronica L. Denison, Digital Archivist and Special Collections Librarian at Rhode Island College. At this time, the collection was removed from the Nathaniel Terry Bacon papers and made into its own collection. |
