Correspondence and papers re entries for the organisation in relevant directories. In alphabetical order by name of directory or organisation compiling it.
Front matter includes
- listing of all directories
- sample texts describing the organisation
Descriptions shifted over time and varied with the focus of the directory and the permitted length of the entry. Typical change requests concerned the organisation's name (from SPAID to OEDA in January 1996), Nancy Tait's epithets (MBE, Dr), and shifts in organisational activity caused by fluctuations of funding, such as e.g. the closure of the Electron Microscope Research Unit (EMU) after OEDA lost its main source of funding in 2003.
