Arrangement
The original fonds was titled the “Josephine Chudyk, Blanche Reid fonds.” The title has been changed to reflect both the nature of the collection and to provide accurate donor names. The original file level arrangement has been mostly retained, as files were arranged chronologically. File 005, formerly labelled as “Reunions,” has been changed to “Alumnae and reunion material” to reflect content in the file.
