NOTE: The cost figures include labor (staff and student worker time), materials, and storage costs. A few collections were processed during more than one year, and the figures above are for completed projects only; therefore, they include hours from previous years. Starting in 2002, the time and expense spent in creating an HTML version of a guide was included in the hours spent in processing the collection.
