Arrangement
Bird made an attempt to number the scrapbooks donated to the archives. Unfortunately, some of these numbers have gone missing as the tags Bird used have in some cases fallen off and gone missing. He numbered the scrapbooks firstly with numbers (1-?). A second set was numbered 55-1, 55-2, etc. Reasons for this numbering system are unknown. Two #42 scrapbooks exist and as such, one has been numbered 42a. The 17 unnumbered scrapbooks have been numbered A-Q. By utilizing Bird's numbering system, natural order has been preserved as much as possible.
