The Box Index

Each box was given a subject heading which was determined by the contents of the files within that particular box.

The contents of each box were separated into files according to subject matter. Each file was then given a subject heading or subject headings (for example, if a file was about Arafat personally, the subject heading would be 11 Arafat 11, but if the subject was dealing with Arafat and the PLO, then the subject heading would reflect both "Arafat" and the "PLO"), numbered, and the dates covered within the file were also noted.

Within each file, the contents were arranged by date and given a number, for example 225:3/2. That is: 225 is the box number, 3 is the file number within that box, and 2 means it is item number two in file number 3. When files within the box carry the same heading it is usually because the file would have been too big if it had contained all the items that belonged under that heading. Thus, the file was broken down in some way, usually by date. Also, some files may only have one item in them. This was a judgement call on the part of the person organizing the box; usually the item's subject matter did not fit in well with another file in the box. Labels were typed for each file and placed on the outside of each box with the box number and it's heading. Each file heading was then numbered and listed as well as the dates covered within the file. The number of items within the file were also noted.
