Arrangement

Arrangement

The files are arranged alphabetically by last name. In addition to specifically named files, there are general alphabetical files (e.g., "AA-AB") and files for multiple individuals with the same last name (e.g., "Jones"). The general alphabetical files generally precede the specifically named files in each alphabetical range. If a listing for a specific individual is not found in the container list, it is possible that there are relevant materials in the appropriate general alphabetical file.
