The bulk of the collection was originally housed in one three-ring binder after processing. It was later rehoused into two legal-sized manuscript boxes to better preserve the materials.
A binder, containing photocopies of the textual materials within the collection, was produced during original processing and placed in the reference section of the Colorado Books area of the Eagle Public Library. That copy can be found under the call number: REF 978.844 D732.
