As part of an on-going effort to benefit users, Graduate Assistants at the Albert Gore, Sr., Research Center organize collections and prepare finding aids.  Over the past Fall semester and the early months of the Spring semester, Graduate Assistants Heather Bailey and Kevin Cason, have processed several collections. 

Heather Bailey has processed and prepared finding aids for the Hayes Collection, the Pickard Collection, and the Rattle & Snap Collection.  Currently, Heather is conserving materials in the Licker-Haney-Maxwell Collection and developing an accessions database for the Center.

Kevin Cason processed and prepared finding aids for the John A. McFarland Collection and the Aaron Weise Collection. He also continues to manage the photograph collections and database.

Two undergraduate student workers have also helped process collections and prepare finding aids.  Evan Zimmerman completed work on the Battle of Nashville Monument Collection and the Donnell/Rucker Collection and is currently conserving documents in the James Moore King Collection under Heather Bailey’s supervision.

Student workers at the Gore Center also are helping with conserving and processing collections. Currently, Evan is helping encapsulate items in the James Moore King Collection, while Meagan Dotson is re-housing the John Bragg Collection using archival folders and boxes.
