Additional Description

Arrangement:

Arranged alphabetically by heading, then by subheading, then chronologically.

General Note:

Brewster's office grouped some files under a coded or named heading (e.g. "M102" indicated Maine-related files). Where these codes or larger headings are found, material is titled with the code or heading (e.g. "Government papers") and filed in the alphabetical placement of that heading. Therefore, M102-headed files can be found at the beginning of the M section. Files regarding a subject like the Port of Portland will be found in the M102 section under the P's. These groups are then alphabetized by the subheadings, then filed chronologically under subheadings.

Acknowledgment of non-neutrality

The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
