General
This series comprises three separate numbered sets of audio tapes. The first two sets, which are described in the first two records of this subseries and include prefixes ("SC:T" or "T") before each tape number, are much smaller than the third, larger set. All three numbered sets are mostly chronological, so that the lower tape numbers reflect earlier dates -- though there are exceptions and outliers to this rule. Bulk date ranges are included for some of the boxes to reflect chronological patterns.
An incomplete index that documents the contents of some of the tapes is available on request. This index only describes parts of the large numbered set (the tape numbers without "SC" or "T" prefixes). Specifically, this index describes the contents of tape nos. 102-170; 185-190; 200; 321-322; 401-438; and 452-599.
Ranges of tape numbers reflected in each record's title are not always comprehensive. Within some of the larger ranges, there are small gaps or "staggers" in tape numbers that are not always reflected in record titles.
