On Day 8 (which was Friday, July 5th) and Day 9 (July 9th), I worked on the inventory for my 4th box. This particular box was mainly the files of paperwork from the parades, going from the 1980's to the 2000's. I had a conversation with the museum leader about the box- he agreed with me that it wasn't really necessary for me to inventory each and every single piece of paper, so I did the inventory by the folder.

Some of the paperwork was pretty tedious(I found memos about catering the event from 2005 to about 2007), but there were some pretty cool things about the guests and the participants of the parade. I also found some newspaper clippings- some going all the way back to 1984. I'm guessing that the person who donated the collection joined the Memorial Day Committee around the mid-80's, since none of the paperwork goes further back than the mid-1980's. The photos do, but not the paperwork or the newspaper clippings I've found.

It was for the most part one of the easier boxes to go through, because a lot of the files had already been labeled with dates. You guys have no clue how useful that is for future archivists.
