Provenance
The Louis H. (Louis Harry) Roddis Papers were
donated to the Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special
Collections Library by Louis H. and Alice Roddis in 1982,
1984, 1991, and 1992. Processing of this collection was
supported in part by gifts from Louis H. Roddis.
Processing Information
Processed by: Katherine Rose, Keary Wagner,
Jason Stipanov, Erik Meadows, Allan Freyer, Elizabeth
Scott, Robyn Bissette, Brad Siegele, William Rose
Completed September 1996
Much of the collection is in the order that
Roddis arranged and indexed it. His index forms the
appendix. Some materials that are more appropriate for the
general library have been removed for possible inclusion.
Series that Roddis did not index are arranged primarily the
way the materials were sent to the Rare Book, Manuscript,
and Special Collections Library. Note that a portion of the
Three Mile Island Series is found towards the end of the
collection in boxes 98-100.
This finding aid is NCEAD compliant.
