Abstract

The Berolzheimer Family Archive consists of family and technical research collections. The family collection is made of personal family manuscripts dating back to the late nineteenth century and business documents. The technical research collection contains the remains of a once large wood research library. Only a portion of the collection was accessible. The intern applied archival principles and techniques to arrange, describe and increase accessibility of the Berolzheimer Family Archive.
