Finding Aids

A finding aid is a guide to a group of archival records, personal papers, or manuscripts. It may be a brief summary or a detailed description and inventory. The finding aid describes the origin, extent, dates, contents, important topics, and organization of the records. It is a tool to help researchers determine if the records contain material of interest to them and exactly where that material is located.
