Scope and Content
Arrangement
Most of this material was in no apparent order and has largely been rearranged by the archivist. Some items were obviously bundled together and where this is the case these groupings have been retained. Otherwise, the material has been arranged into classes according to subject matter, which aim to reflect Sixsmith's reason for retaining the items.
