Class. Folio Collection
There are 43 folio packages with Brambles barcode identification. These were brought in from Brambles in January 99 and rehoused. They can be divided into 5 groupings, relating to the date of addition to the collection. There is also a folio without Brambles identification or an addition date. Many additions are listed in this finding aid and include mention of these same folios.
There are also 67 folios, added in March 1988, which are mostly Morgan Gallup polls. These folios were relisted January 1999 as part of the Folio rehousing project because the original list from 1982 does not include all material. The reference numbers were written on each item, and are in roughly chronological order. There are 22 packages with Brambles identification barcodes, housed in 11 polypropylene Boxes.
