Date(s) Created: 1985-1992 Date(s) Assembled: 1985-1992 Archivist's Notes: Due to shelf size and space, all 4 boxes couldn't be placed side by side. Also, the large amount of materials that fit in this series could not fit into one box, so they had to be placed in several instead. The binders in box 7 from the Old School House project were organized by Lorenz in such a way that I didn't feel comfortable removing them from the binder. So, they have been left as is, for the time being.In box 15, there are 2 hanging folders labeled "Projects Lorenz worked on" These folders contain the files associated with this project. Due to lack of flip top boxes, I couldn't keep them in their own container, so I labeled the folders and placed them in a large box with other materials. Everything is labeled, so it will be easy to distinguish what is in there.

Good

These are original documents and only show minor to little deterioration. There is some fading in the letters on some of the documents, but not enough to make the documents illegible.
