collections by order of deposit (correct and checked as at December
1999). As a complete record of private deposits, it duplicates some of
the collections noted in the Master Guide, but mostly denotes single
items or files except where indicated. Some of the larger deposits have
separate lists. These should soon be available also, and all are
available in the archive itself.
As this list is rather long and sorted numerically, we recommend you use the "find" facility on your browser. |
