Appropriate Bibliographic and Holdings Record: Archival and Manuscript Collections

I. FULLY PROCESSED, FULLY CATALOGUED COLLECTIONS

The collection is considered fully processed; no further physical processing or descriptive work is expected. In addition to the Orbis record, there may or may not be a finding aid. If there is a finding aid, the record must have an appropriately worded 555 Finding Aid Available note, as determined by unit practice. Where a finding aid doesn't exist (e.g., some small collections) the Orbis record should contain sufficient information (either in the 351 Organization and Arrangement field, or in the 520 Scope and Content field) to enable researchers and staff to page the material effectively from LSF. In addition, the Orbis record should include all MARC fields deemed appropriate by the cataloging unit.

Orbis display code: D
Record also present in RLIN: Y

545/1: : |a Cyrus R. Vance was born on March 27, 1917 in Clarksburg, West Virginia. He attended Yale University and earned his B.A. in 1939 and his LL.B. in 1942. He began governmental work in 1957 by helping to draft the National Space Act of 1958. In 1961, John F. Kennedy appointed him general counsel and, in 1962, promoted him to secretary of the army. In 1964, Lyndon B. Johnson appointed Vance deputy secretary of defense. After resigning in 1967, Vance was asked by Johnson to ensure federal recovery assistance at the 1967 Detroit riot, and in 1968, to negotiate with Greece and Turkey to avert war in Cyprus. Later that year, he and W. Averell Harriman represented the United States at the Paris Peace Talks on Vietnam.
545/2: : |a Jimmy Carter pointed Vance secretary of state in 1977. After 1980, Vance became involved in many organizations, such as the Council on Foreign Relations, the Center for National Policy, and the Palme Commission on Disarmament and Security Issues. In 1993, Vance and Lord David Owen traveled to the former Yugoslavia as United Nations envoys to advise on peace-making efforts.
545/3: : |a Grace Sloane Vance was born on June 2, 1918 in New York City. She attended Bryn Mawr College and the Parsons School of Design. During the 1960s, she was vice-chairman of the Tom Sawyer Project, which, in association with the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, selected children from around the country to create and to paint large panels representing their home states. She also directed Widening Horizons, a project of the D.C. public schools Urban Service Corps, which allowed teenagers to experience governmental and business professions, cultural events, and educational opportunities first hand through job fairs, summer camps, and field trips. During the Carter presidency, Vance traveled to Latin America with First Lady Rosalynn Carter to relate the administration's policies and to foster good will. Throughout the 1980s, she was active in the work of the Foreign Policy Association.
520/4: : |a The Vance papers primarily document Cyrus R. Vance's professional and personal activities. Of particular significance are background materials, correspondence, position papers, and handwritten meeting notes relating to SALT II negotiations between the United States and the Soviet Union; the Camp David Summit and the signing of the Middle East Peace Treaty; diplomatic relations with the Far East, especially China; and negotiations to release the American hostages in Iran. Proposals, reports, handwritten notes, and correspondence provide insight into the dispute between Greece and Turkey over Cyprus in 1967, federal recovery assistance to Detroit after the riot of 1967, and the Paris Peace Talks on Vietnam in 1968.
520/5:8 : |a Governmental statements and commentaries, draft bills, and Senate committee background materials from 1958 document Vance's involvement in the creation of the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA).

The collection also contains manuscript drafts used for Vance's book Hard Choices: Critical Years in America's Foreign Policy.

II. PARTIALLY PROCESSED COLLECTIONS

The repository has achieved a minimal level of physical and descriptive control, as evidenced in the wording of a preliminary Orbis record and, possibly, an accompanying finding aid providing preliminary descriptive control at the container level (e.g., preliminary container list.) Further arrangement and description work are required. The Orbis record should include reference to a finding aid if one exists, in addition to at least the fields illustrated in the samples (see below). Units may opt to include more detailed information as they deem appropriate.
