Arrangement
The papers were received in a state of disarray - many pages were loose and had become disordered; many were also very dirty and crumpled. It has not been possible in every case to accurately identify material or to distinguish sets of notes from each other. Much of the material is undated, particularly the notebooks and lecture and research notes. Many of the dates attributed at the point of cataloguing are provisional.
