| Arrangement: |
N.B. Material found together in Douglas's folders has mostly been kept together, preserving his order, with the exception of some South American material put with other, similar material. This means that items of diverse dates are sometimes to be found together because he grouped material geographically. More recent items tended to be added at the top and these have been listed first. |
