- Arrangement:
- File papers are arranged chronologically. They are followed by file notes (folios 28-29), which include a mainly chronological list of most documents in the file. The list records their document reference number and usually a simple running number from 1 to 18 that has been written on the documents in black, red or blue and encircled. The list usually records their folio number as well. These numbers help to identify and locate the documents in the file.
