Below are the formal instructions. I need two forms filled out – the Appraisal Outline and Appraisal Discussion. The outline is half-filled out and you just need to look through the zip file and accession form to fill in those answers. The discussion is the second document that needs to be done and is all of the bulleted items below in bold. It looks like a lot but it is more tedious than arduous. I will be able to be in constant contact if you have any questions. The discussion needs to be 1.5 line spacing and at least 1000 words. 1500- 2000 is ideal.
These three links should be used for making the outline and but need to be used as sources in the discussion:

Instructions
This assignment addresses course outcome 4 and module learning objective 2.
For this assignment, you will consider the records of a now-defunct unit within the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, the Center for Children’s Literature. Included in your materials are folders of materials as they arrived from the center, descriptive information from the accession, and images of materials in each folder. This is all of the information that arrived with the records. Research on the internet may help you explore the relationship of individuals involved in the center to other organizations.
You are considering these materials for inclusion in the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee’s University Archives.
The Assignment:
Complete an appraisal report (use the outline provided)
List materials you would like to keep – if you are keeping entire folders of materials, folder names are sufficient.
List materials you would like to discard – if you are discarding entire folders of materials, folder names are sufficient.
[Note: You do not need to propose an arrangement for these materials]
Discuss your decision-making process
Discuss your appraisal decisions. How did the information about the collecting priorities of the UWM Archives influence your decisions? Discuss why – or why not – the materials fit into the collecting policy.
Discuss the value of the records. Consider all types of archival value. Did you identify records that have short-term utility but enduring value? Were there any records with long-term utility but no enduring value?
Discuss the process of appraising the materials. Did you make all decisions at the item level? At the folder level? Why did you decide on this level? What impact did the size of the collection have on your decision about the level of appraisal?
Discuss your disposition decisions. Would you discard materials? Would you offer them elsewhere? Why or why not?
Consider appraisal policy and documenting your decisions: write a brief description of the documentation that you would create about this appraisal decision. Explain the overall policy you are using for appraisal, explain the methodology you are using, the description of the agency responsible for creating the records, and your reasons for your disposition decisions.
File names should be YourLastName_Appraisal and may be submitted in .doc, .docx, .rtf, or .pdf formats. Follow either Chicago (Note-Bibliography style) or APA citation style for formatting of citations and the bibliography. Remember that you must cite the source of your information, regardless of whether you quote, paraphrase, or summarize.
Submit your assignment before July 31 at 11:55 pm CST.
