New Business Series, 1973-2003 and undated, bulk 1993-2003, 1973-2003 and undated, bulk 1993-2003

Extent:

45 boxes

Scope and content:

Correspondence, letters of introduction, mailings, research reports, presentations and other printed materials. The series spans 1973-2003, but most of the materials fall between 1993 and 2003, and represent Bates' pursuit of new business accounts through its various New Business departments during the final decade of the company's existence. The series is organized into three subseries--General Files, Competing Agencies, and Companies--and alphabetically therein.

Some large-format items have been removed to special boxes. Items have been linked to the pertinent subseries by a dummy file, which title appears in brackets.

Audiovisual materials have been removed to the Audiovisual Materials Series . Originals are closed to use. Technical Services staff need to produce use copies before contents can be accessed. Please consult with Research Services staff before requesting audiovisual materials.

Some materials were received as electronic files. Disks were assigned consecutive numbers reflecting the order in which they were encountered. If a work has a corresponding or associated electronic file, the file is included in the container list. The contents of each disk have been migrated to the electronic records server. Consequently, the contents of these disks are available only in correspondingly numbered electronic subdirectories. Consult a reference archivist for access to the electronic files.
