Notes

2019.003.009a-e: These documents are in fair condition. The papers have been folded into fourths, and the folds are deeply creased from having been stored folded, preventing the documents from lying flat. The first page is torn along the bottom crease in two places. The first is a small tear 1 cm long starting from the left edge. The second starts 2.5 cm in from the right edge, and is 12 cm long. These documents should be stored flat to prevent any more stress from folding and unfolding. There are two small holes at the top of each page, where small metal rings have been inserted to hold the documents together. These need to be removed by a specialist to minimize damage, and have been left alone for the time being. 2019.003.009f: This paper wallet is in very good condition. There is very slight wear along the fold in the covering flap where the wallet has been open and closed.
