Arrangement
The papers are arranged by departmental file number. The inclusion of a date before a file number (as in FIR (1959) 709/1/1) indicates that the year in which the file was created was included in the file reference number. Thus the full departmental reference of a file listed as FIR (1959) 709/1/1 would be FIR 59 709/1/1.
