Arrangement
Records not classified according to Uniform File Classification System. Arrangement reflects the subject-based nature of the original organization of the records, where for some files, consecutive numerics were used without regard for any formal classification, and where for other files, no numbering system was originally applied. The latter files have been numbered sequentially with the prefix "UNCL" by the Archivist according to alphabetic order of file titles.
