description The receipt of large twentieth-century political collections can be a crippling experience for a moderately sized archival repository. A proactive approach can, however, soften the blow by permitting the archivist to (1) understand a working congressional office and (2) appraise the papers en scene before they are packed. As a result the repository will receive a smaller, more organized collection with a preliminary finding aid, and the archivist will be in a better position to provide service on the papers sooner.
