  A peculiar aggregation that may have been created as part of Nancy Tait's effort to get her archive ready for deposition with the University of Strathclyde. Contains both interesting documents and bumpf. Where the documents were original and bore specific filing instructions, they have been extracted and filed. This is traceable on the documents in question, all of which have been inscribed with their new file ID./akm March 2017
