Additional Description

Processing Information

The original, printed guide, A Guide to the Alaska Packers Association Records and to the APA Library,” was prepared by Ellen Greenberg March, 1972, who also established the original series, I through VII. In July of 1983, Phyllis DeMuth and Michael Sullivan prepared and published A Guide to the Alaska Packers Association Records 1891-1970 in the Alaska Historical Society. It incorporated the first guide and described a large accession acquired in 1982, with cross-references to the selection of records copied on microfiche (microfiche numbers APA 1 – 720, located in white binders in the Reading Room and in box at beginning of MS 9). See also MFMS 30.

The current collection guide was scanned from the printed guide and includes accessions since 1982.
