- User Conditions:
- Physical Characteristics:
- The main foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover with 1 and terminates at the inside back cover with 22; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. An additional foliation sequence is also present in parallel between ff 2-21; these numbers are also written in pencil, but are not circled. The back cover has been re-foliated from 34 to 22 and the previous number crossed out; this is in consequence of the file notes (former ff 22-33) being removed to IOR/R/15/2/1667.
- Former External References:
- File 20/B
- Arrangement:
-
The papers are arranged in chronological order from the front to the rear of the file. Folios 21 and 22 are file notes.
Originally the file contained file notes (ff 22-33) which were moved to file IOR/R/15/2/1667 ‘No 20/2 Ceremonials & Honours. DEATHS IN ROYAL FAMILY AND OF OTHER BIG PERSONS’. These file notes were moved upon discovering that they had been previously displaced. This was discovered during cataloguing for The Qatar Foundation Partnership Programme. The title on the notes is ‘Ceremonials and Honours’ which does not match the current file. Also looking at the notes themselves we can tell that the descriptions and the dates provided all belong to file IOR/R/15/2/1667. Therefore these were removed, rearranged, and re-foliated accordingly and now they are part of file IOR/R/15/2/1667.
