Acquisition Information
Acquired from Ramsay Bell Breslin, James Breslin's widow, in 2003.
Processing History
Ramsay Bell Breslin numbered the folders and wrote an extensive inventory in preparation
for the Getty Research Institute's acquisition of the archive. Laurel McPhee began
processing and arranging the collection and writing the finding aid in November-December
2003 and Andra Darlington completed the work in December 2005-April 2006. James Breslin's
original order was maintained in the alphabetical arrangement of files on individuals and
institutions, and in the topical arrangement of other files; new topics were assigned and
documents interfiled as necessary. Original file folders were retained only if Breslin had
written notes on them.
