Accruals

System of arrangement
This sub-fonds is divided into 2 series which allow for pastoral and medical care to be focused on individually. Material has been divided into subsequent sub-series which reflect various themes. Consequently, not all material will have retained its original order. Any digital files are stored in folders that replicate the series arrangement.
