Tony Ash

Arrangement

The collection is housed in 8 boxes and has been received in chunks overtime. Most of his letters have no arrangement. His cassets are divided between ones where he speaks and ones where he does not. Otherwise, the serires has been arranged topically, with biblical notes arranged canonically, classes are organized into individual folders, teacher administration is organized into one folder, and class papers are arranged together. Although this order was added to the collection, most of the collection was kept in the same condition as it was sent by Ash.
