Arrangement
This collection was arranged with a double purpose: respecting its creator's original order as much as it could be discerned, while making it easy to navigate through for any reader. This led to a division in series, the first of which, General Correspondence, had already been entirely arranged by Frederick Rose himself during his life. Series 2, 3 and 4 were arranged thematically, each attempting to follow a chronological order. Finally, series 5 and 6 were adapted to encompass two specific formats, audio recordings and photography.
