Content and context

This series of research papers differs from the 'subject files' by their extent and their focus. They were held in separate box files, each with a title written on the outside. They are more extensive than the smaller subject files, and contain reference sources for his writings or his public duties. The titles in inverted commas are taken from NGA's labels on the box files.
