Access Alert: Claxon mss. II

Let the bells sound, it's what I can only hope many eager researchers have been waiting for! Claxon mss. II is ready and waiting on the Lilly Library's Manuscript Collections page (search "Claxon" or click "C" in the browsing list)!

Browse through the Claxon mss. II Collection Description and Inventory to see what you and the rest of the world have been missing.

The MARC record should be up and searchable through IUCAT--IU's online library catalog--soon, as should the finding aid. The finding aid will be linked through the Collection Description page as well as the Indiana University Finding Aids site (likely to be renamed in the near future, but it will remain the same resource).

To access the physical collection, you'll need to visit the Lilly Library and inquire in the reading room.

In case you missed it a few weeks back, Claxon mss., the small collection of Claxon correspondence, is also up and available online! See the Collection Description, Inventory, and Catalog Record (by searching "Claxon" in the title, author, or keyword search fields in IUCAT).

Seeing some of my work up online always provides satisfying closure after the separation anxiety prompted by completing physical processing. Archival work is clearly emotionally taxing. (haha)
