Card index of SPAID/OEDA cases, in alphabetical order (by surname of individual afflicted and family member). In some cases cross-referenced to case number or 'Q' file (OEDA/C/1/2); see link below.
Printout of the OEDA case database in the form of a table, 28 July 2003. 171 pp, listing cases 2-3650 (with gaps) and cases 4001-10,000 (with extensive gaps), followed by a few rows with anomalous case numbers. This and other indicators suggest that there may have been a technical problem with the database.
The printout appears to have been generated to support OEDA's case for continued funding from Association of London Government (ALG; formerly the London Boroughs Grant Unit, LBGU), the organisation's main source of funding since 1983.
Includes:
- note from Nancy Tait proposing to use this printout, rather than the electronic database, to record important updates henceforth
- overview of codes and what each column in the database is intended for
