Abstract
With limited staff and a large unprocessed backlog, New York University Libraries pursued a project from 2016 to 2018 to coordinate the processing of a 1,000 linear foot institutional records collection prior to its donation. The successful project resulted in NYU opening the New York Foundation for the Arts records for research years earlier than it otherwise would have been accessible. The project presented many challenges that can arise when collaborating across institutions. This case study documents the processing project, explores the challenges faced throughout, and reflects on lessons learned that make this a replicable model for collaborative pre-donation processing.
