Arrangement:

When the main body of papers was acquired by the Library, they fell into broad groupings including correspondence, diaries, reports on manuscripts and theses, subject files, ephemera and articles, lectures and reviews. These groupings reflected Macintyre's usage of the papers and in general have been retained as series. Correspondence, reports on manuscripts and theses and the subject files had been arranged by Macintyre chronologically or alphabetically and this order has been preserved. In other series the file order has been created by the Library staff. Contents of files created by Macintyre have been retained in their original order.
