This catalogue was compiled by Natalie Adams of Churchill Archives Centre in May 2005 taking information from the 1983 typescript catalogue to the collection. The papers were found to be variously labelled with reference codes WONU and WWNT although the original catalogue used only WONU. All files re-labelled WONU to avoid confusion.
