TECHNICAL NOTE

Our microfilm publications have been prepared and produced in accordance with recommended and established guidelines for the production of microform of superior quality. These conform to the recommendations of the standard guides to good microforming and micropublishing practice.

Attention should be drawn to the nature of the original material. The typescript political diaries are stapled together in small sections. These staples have been removed to facilitate filming.

Many folders contain correspondence. Item numbers are marked on individual letters in pencil. A few letters are in rather fragile condition, a few are faintly legible or have been written on both horizontally and vertically with text merging in a cross-hatch pattern. A few manuscript documents consist of faintly legible correspondence and records written with a variety of inks, pens or pencils and on paper which has become severely discoloured or stained, or which is so thin that there is show through that renders the original document to read. A few items consist of photocopies of documents.

These original characteristics present difficulties of image and contrast which stringent tests and camera alterations cannot entirely overcome. Every effort has been made to minimise these difficulties. The outside covers of all files, folders and volumes have been filmed. Where the item number is difficult to read this has been filmed again on a sheet of plain white paper.

The most responsible care has been exercised in the filming of this unique collections and this microfilm publication meets the standards established by the Association for Information and Image Management (AIIM) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
