- Arrangement:
- The papers are grouped by their relation to a particular subject matter, recipient, format, or document type. For example, statements of accounts, abstracts, or correspondence relating to the Residency in Baghdad. Some documents that do not fit easily into such groupings stand alone, such as Jones's memorandum on British policy in Persia. Others are kept together as groups of miscellaneous papers. Within each group the papers are arranged in a rough chronological order.
