Within each manuscript, material is sorted into date order. Where an item spans different dates (for example, a bill is often issued in the year following that in the services charged for took place, and may carry an endorsement recording payment the year after that) it has been filed according to the latest date on it.

The papers are available subject to the usual conditions of access to Archives and Manuscripts material, after the completion of a Reader's Undertaking.
