Archive Boxes

Overview

Roughly 500 boxes of paper records exist, primarily stored at Pickens-Kane, and some within the lab.

Collections

Collections from several institutions made their way to us. Some items were disposed of due to hazard concerns, and others were donated to other organizations. See USTUR Page as WSU

• Dr. J. Newell Stannard Collection / Aka JNS
  • Are we actually in possession of this collection?
  • The NRA Stannard Collection compliments the University of Tennessee Library Radiation Research Collection which contains Dr. Stannard’s original writings.

Identifiers/Barcodes

Many hands have been involved in labeling the boxes. They all had their various conventions. The boxes are currently stored at Pickens-Kane.

• Pickens-Kane Storage Identifiers:
  • Green 7-digit Numbers. Also a yellow/tan sticker indicating the floor.
• NRA Identifiers. See Media:INVENTOR.TXT. Barcodes may have been generated by a software from "Worthington Data Solutions"
  • Barcode or number which has a format of XYYYYYY Where X is a letter representing the organization and Y is a 6-digit number which is a leading-zero-padded sequence number starting at 000001
  • These commonly had Barcodes, but check for handwritten numbers of the same format!!!
    • X is a letter which indicates the organization.
