Recherche dans la collection - Various Documents [textual record]

The archivist arranged the files chronologically based on the directions found on the original files, which specified only dates.

We should note that the original order of the records was preserved. The documents did not contain enough information on the producer, the recipient or the topic to be separated. It would have been risky to reclassify files by producer, recipient or topic, as it would have compromised the original order and possibly obscured the context in which the files were created. The archivist thus felt it prudent to preserve the original sets.
