The Process of Processing: The Texas Association of Chicanos in Higher Education Records Additions

The Nettie Lee Benson Latin American Collection is one dedicated to cultivating, preserving, and making accessible the physical materials related to Latinx presence in North/Central/South America. In continuing this mission, I fully processed the Texas Association of Chicanos in Higher Education Records (TACHE) additions. This included arranging the ten to twelve linear feet of records into the appropriate sub-groups, series, sub-series, and files according to the existing hierarchy established by past processing archivists, carrying out standard preservation practice to increase the collection’s longevity, and adding the collection to the existing TACHE record finding aid and EAD to ensure sufficient user accessibility. Completing this project allows future patrons to explore these records in their entirety for various purposes, including research and teaching.
