Processing Information

With exceptions noted in individual records, the library's collection of Games Business was destapled and chopped in half to assist with digitization due to the magazine's large format. The loose pages of Games Business will eventually be bound into volumes.

This collection was digitized in collaboration with Anne Ladyem McDivitt, PhD at Stanford University Libraries. McDivitt provided access to Stanford University Libraries' processing facilities and helped debind and cut the library's collection of Games Business.
