Records of the President of Harvard University, Charles W. Eliot, 1869-1930Abstract: Charles William Eliot (1834-1926) was President of Harvard Universityfrom March 12, 1869 to May 19, 1909. He transformed Harvard from a regionalinstitution to a world-class university. The Records consist of official recordsproduced by his administration.Records of the President of Harvard University, James Bryant Conant, 1933-1955Scope and Content: These records document James B. Conant's tenure as Presidentof Harvard University and illustrate his involvement in national affairs, hisadministrative duties, and the major events in Harvard's history that occurredduring his presidency. The records include his official and unofficialcorrespondence, annual reports, handwritten and final drafts of speeches,manuscript notes and various drafts for Conant's book, Education and Liberty: theRole of the Schools In a Modern Democracy, and Conant's office calendars.----------------------------------------RATIONALE:Distinguishing between records and papers can be difficult when an individual isprominent in the creation of archival material. However, it is crucial thatinstitutional, organizational, and government records are identified as such:they are subject to policies and laws that may not apply to personal papers, suchas restrictions on access, and their ownership is often public or corporate.Mis-characterizing records as personal papers can have severe consequences on theability to digitize collections, since it can leads to inaccurate assumptionsabout who holds copyright.Action: DACS Revision Page 23 of 158 0113-II-A-DACS

No----------------------------------------DACS REFERENCE:2.1 Reference Code----------------------------------------BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE:Control numbers in multilevel descriptions for aggregations and items below thecollection level.A control number is the means by which an archival repository associates anarchival description with the material being described.In the case of analog holdings, the control number in the description associatesthe description with the physical holding, usually by indicating a unitidentifier and/or a container and/or an item number.In the case of digital holdings, the control number points electronically orresolves to the electronic holding.It is wise to avoid the use of system numbers as control numbers because systemsare inevitably replaced and system numbers will change when the system does.For analog materials, transcribe or assign a control number that uniquelyidentifies an archival holding from the container, label, or holding. Typically,control numbers are:· an accession number· a call number· a container number. an item number. some combination of the aboveExamples:* Box 1* Volume 1* Reel 1Action: DACS Revision Page 24 of 158 0113-II-A-DACS
