Records of the Harvard University Archives : Shelflist cards [for] UAI [and] UAIII, ca. 1979.

A green card for each record group contains a history of the records in the group. The cards contain information about the scope, contents, and history of the older records of the University that cannot easily be found elsewhere in the University Archives. The information on these cards may not be compiled in other indexes and finding aids. It was not transcribed during the retrospective conversion of the looseleaf shelflists into the Harvard on-line library information system that took place in the mid-1980's.
