Arranged alphabetically by subject and chronologically thereunder. The collection was accessioned and processed in two different sections: Boxes 1-13 first(Series I, dated 1965- 1966; Series 2, dated 1966-1967), and Boxes 14-32 later. For this reason, alphabetical subjects begin again in Box 14, and the dates sometimes overlap those in previous boxes. Because of this, the Series designation was subsequently dropped.
