Finding Aid, Survey of 8250 Acres of Timber Harvest Area at Strom Thurmond Lake 1996- 1997

This collection is referred to as "Survey of 8250 Acres of Timber Harvest Area at Strom Thurmond Lake 1996-1997.” This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folders, and the box labels. The extent of this collection is nine (9) linear inches.

The documents date from 1997 to 1998. The investigation took place in 1996 and the final report was submitted in 1997, which explains the date range in the project name. The range of dates within the collection also includes later correspondence regarding the transfer of the collection. The documents were originally stored in an acidic cardboard box in acidic folders with other document collections from the Strom Thurmond Lake area. One item, consisting of a letter and envelope, were removed from the associated artifact collection, cleaned, and rehoused with the document collection. The material was originally organized into folders with descriptive titles. The folder titles were generally retained.

The documents were in good condition, but there were a few tears present throughout the documents, which required mending with acid-free mending tape. Acidic tape was also found within the document collection, and this was removed. Parts II and III of the final report contained various figures and pictures that were printed on paper and were adhered to the pages of the documents. Many figures and pictures were peeling away from the original pages, so the 2012 Alexandria technicians removed all of the figures and pictures, cleaned and mended the materials (when necessary) and re-attached the materials to their designated pages within the final report with acid-free mending tape.
