Arrangement of the Papers

The folders for the years 1959-1968, 1979-1982, and 1987-1989 contain all material generated by the Society on yearly basis. Records for the years 1971 to 1973 are arranged first by subject and then chronologically. The journals/ledgers and the audit reports are placed at the end of the collection in chronological order.
