The ITK Archives currently consists of an estimated 1200 boxes of paper records, photos, tapes, film and other media, as well as nearly 40 maps and other large format records. The contents of many of the boxes in off-site storage are currently unidentified. An important component of this project will be creating a high-level inventory for the entire Archive.
