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.

Red notebook, previously used to list history of science literature c.1900-1960. Repurposed to record names, occasionally also addresses, of individuals with some asbestos affiliation (suffering from an asbestos-related disease, related to a victim, worried about asbestos in the home, etc.). It is unclear whether the compilation is based solely on SPAID clients or whether it also includes cases that came to the organisation's attention solely through media reports and similar.

Ordered by first letter of surname.

A4 size address book of cases (name / address / disease).

Marked up using the following colour code:

• red: SPAID/OEDA asbestos-related case register
• green: claim no longer proceeding
• brown: pre-employment medical taken little notice of
• blue + pink: claim started + settled – length of time taken

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

Poster reporting on six of the 42 new cases handled by SPAID since October 1983:

• 48 year old maintenance fitter diagnosed with mesothelioma, after only three years occasional contact with asbestos in naval dockyards
• 69 year old mesothelioma patient who worked for Turner & Newall, Manchester, for one year, 30 years ago
• 48 year old mesothelioma patient who came in contact with asbestos during an apprenticeship with ICI, likewise 30 years ago
• 42 year old former merchant seaman and cargo inspector at Plymouth docks, on severe pain medication for his mesothelioma

Display board featuring colour photographs of diseased organs: mesothelioma, lung cancer, asbestosis - pleural thickening.

Board bearing this caption, with four black and white photographs arranged to reproduce one single view through the microscope.

'UICC chrysotile standard' presumably refers to Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) reference chrysotile. Not all types of chrysotile appear to have the same capacity to cause mesothelioma.
