General
Purchased with the Robert and Virginia Tunstall Trust Fund, 2022/2023. Acquired by Brenda Gunn. Rose Oliveira-Abbey, 8/16/2023: This collection came in when we figured out the process. As such, Barbara Hatcher (BH) treated them as items for cataloging. I have left the cataloging strips with materials so those who process this collection can easily shadow collections when processing is complete. Also, BH noted that an item "You Baby's care" has been misplaced, and they are still looking for it.
