Yale Processing Manual
Processing rates vary a great deal from collection to collection. The following guidelines have been found to be both useful and reliable. It must be noted, however, that processing estimates are derived from preliminary examinations of collections of papers. It is always possible, therefore, that complications will be found during processing that were not anticipated at the time of the survey.
