GUIDE TO THE FINDING AID
The papers in this collection are arranged in a manner which retains the original numeric filing system created by Mr. Knowles. Each file has been assigned a number and relates to a card catalogue retained in Mr. Knowles' office. For ease of access without the card catalogue, the following index headings have been created (pages VII-XV) by the National Archives. This list contains major subject headings and sub-headings and refers researchers to specific Containers. Researchers should note that not all subjects are listed and that this list should only be used as a general guide. Many other names and subjects will be found throughout the finding aid.
In addition, Container 514 contains numerous notebooks, each of which contains hundreds of handwritten nominal and subject index entries to assist researchers when consulting the collection. Each notebook spans a particular time period with nominal and subject entries arranged alphabetically therein. Each of these entries has been allotted a file number by Mr. Knowles. This file number will enable researchers to ascertain the appropriate Container number from the finding aid.
Researchers should be aware that these notebooks were prepared prior to the arrangement of the collection, and in some instances, may refer to files that were not retained during the arrangement process.
Researchers are advised to consult the notebooks in Container 514 until the card catalogue in Mr. Knowles office has been acquired.
