The fifth and final series is titled, Research References and is divided into sub-series based on the form of the research reference - and hence they are Books, Ephemera, Infographics and Maps, Media Clippings, Press Releases and finally writings and reports. All of them are arranged alphabetically
The intellectual arrangement strives to preserve the provenance and original order of the papers. Where an original order could not be found, the Archives have applied an order, and folders within the sub-series are arranged usually in chronological or alphabetical order.
