Abstract: David used the sling to slay Goliath, and now archivists have the microchip to conquer gigantic backlogs of records. A processing method developed at the Western Reserve Historical Society (WRHS) in Cleveland, Ohio, utilizes a word processor and a personal computer to expedite the arrangement and description of collections. The word processor's flexibility permits two archivists to arrange and describe a collection almost simultaneously, though one archivist creates a description list prior to arrangement. This team processing method has facilitated the rapid processing of several large collections at WRHS.
