PhysicalDescriptionSome pages were originally stuck in the file and have come loose, others are attached with staples. It has not been possible to remove the material from the file and repackage, for instance, in archive folders, due to the damage this could cause to the contents as the file is tightly bound. However, the file is now secured with archive tape and some loose material within has been attached with brass paperclips for added protection.
