Arrangement
Generally series are arranged by publication, with association determined by how the material was grouped by the depositor. Series are not arranged in publication order, due to material arriving in multiple accessions. There is also a series of material not associated with a publication; this reflects its arrangement in how it arrived at the point of deposit, but it is thought highly likely that a significant proportion of that material contributed to at least one publication.
