Immediate Source of Acquisition
A section of Ulrich Ellis' papers was deposited with the National Library in January 1961 and January 1962. Approximately half of them consist of published monographs and of serials, often in processed form, which require ordinary library cataloguing and classification.
Arrangement
Ellis divided all items he received, together with copies and drafts of his own writings, into broad subject files. These have been maintained, with the result that the division of series tends to be by subject rather than by author or form.
