Anniversaries Collection

The records are arranged in six series, divided by anniversary year. The first four of the series have been further arranged in subseries. Especially for Series 1, 2, and 3, the distinctions among the subseries Clippings, Reports and Memoranda, Events, and Correspondence cannot be pressed too hard, because in many cases a document in one subseries could easily have been placed in another. For instance, some of the letters in the Correspondence subseries are more like reports, and in fact formal reports do occur within correspondence. Also, reports and proceedings in the Events subseries might also appear in Reports and Memoranda. Typescripts of letters and publicity are usually found in Correspondence or Reports and Memoranda, while printed versions usually appear in Events.
