This is an unprocessed collection. Any arrangement reflects either a pre-existing order from the records' creators or previous custodians, or preliminary sorting performed by staff.

Items are in sleeves dated with month and date (but not year), and given a short identifying event title. In-house identifying numbers at the top of each folder are likely chronological. The folders are in no further order.
