Physical Description
|
Records in this series are files in both hard and soft cover manila folders. Enclosures are attached using Treasury tags.
Records for the period between 1982 and 1994 were originally held in lever-arch files. The contents are hole-punched in the top left hand corner suggesting that they were originally maintained in manila folders using Treasury tags and were subsequently transferred to lever-arch files. For records preservation, the Archives has replaced the lever-arch files with hard cover manila folders.
