The bound ledgers were found in the mud in the Craft House building, so the covers of the ledgers needed to be cleaned prior to processing. After the ledgers had been cleaned with a preservation grade HEPA vacuum, the records were cut from the binding and the binding was discarded. Some of the pages were wrinkled, so a humidification process was used to flatten them. Lastly, the pages that were severely damaged were photocopied and the originals were discarded.

Prior to disbinding, the ledgers were bound according to the following chronological arrangement: December 1938-Miscellaneous, February 1940-January 1942, April 1947-June 1948, July 1948-June 1949, October 1950-October 1951, November 1951-October 1952, November 1952-October 1953, November 1953-December 1954, January 1955-December 1955.

In order to streamline the process of applying collection numbers, Special Collections staff completed a large-scale renumbering campaign in 2017-2018. This collection was previously cataloged as SC 5061. At this time, the collection was rehoused and consolidated.
