The Langton Papers were initially processed in 1993; the materials were re-foldered and a finding aid with folder-level list was prepared. Additional processing was conducted in 2010; at that time the papers were arranged in series, the small 1996 addition was incorporated, and the finding aid was significantly revised and expanded.
