Box 3 (ca. 1976-2013) contains correspondence, record files, and other documentation and notes on the administrative operations of the physics library, including employee and student worker hiring, library offerings and resources, and department and faculty support. This box also includes an incomplete run of LIBRA newsletters from September 1993 to February 1999. Box 4 (ca. 1970-2013) contains correspondence, record files, and other documentation and notes on the administrative operations of the physics library, including procedural and circulation guides, information on the faculty, students, and courses of the department, photographs of library spaces, materials, people, and construction. This box also includes A/V and born digital materials that include digital photos, an interview with Doris Wilsdorf, and physics research. Box 5 (ca. 1976-2020) contains correspondence, record files, annual reports, and other documentation and notes on the administrative operations and protocols, procedural guidelines, circulation information, project management plans, and site ratings and improvement goals of both the physics and science and engineering libraries, along with items on the history and faculty of the physics department and the Brown Endowment. Box 6 (ca. 1993-2015) contains correspondence, record files, annual reports, newsletters and other documentation and notes on the administrative operations, procedural guidelines, and project management plans of the University libraries and related programs, along with materials on construction and renovation plans, gifts, and awards.
