SEEC was created by a grant project to catalog the most interesting of the printed materials found in the manuscript collections of the Bakhmeteff Archive (BAR). The items are given accession numbers (e.g., SEEC 1056); a "gb" following the accession number indicates that the item is housed in a folder in a gray box (e.g., SEEC 1056gb). There are currently over 2500 items, all cataloged in CLIO. The original list of printed materials in the BAR (which includes many items not yet added to SEEC) can be found at the RBML reference desk.
