How to search the collection
It is very difficult to find a particular subject in this collection. There are three guides (listed below) but they are only lists of the documents in the order that they appear on the reels. Documents are supposed to be arranged on the reels by subject but it is very difficult to determine what the broad subject is. Also, many documents within a subject grouping do not appear to be on the same subject at all.
