Processing Information
It is unclear who originally accessioned and photocopied this collection, but it can be assumed that James A. Carpenter acted as agent for the repository. This finding aid was written by Carrie P. Mastley, Manuscripts Librarian, in April 2020. The original title for this collection was the B. H. Stubbs Collection. However, given that B. H. Stubbs is a relation of the donor, not the creator, the collection was changed to the Burnside Family Papers to more accurately describe its contents.
