Separated Material:

Boxes 81, 82 and 83 were originally described as 'three briefacses'. However, boxes 82 and 83 were actually film cases and were rehoused in Oral History Tape Store 2 when the films were processed as Obsolete Carriers. Seperate records were created for Box 81 and Boxes 82 and 83 but older description records will continue to describe 'three briefcases'.
