Accession 1990.198 and 1990.259 were already processed, likely done by seminarians at an earlier time, which may have resulted in a change in the original order; however, the order it was found was left largely intact. Accession 1990.260 were all loose papers in bankers banks which likely resulted in the lose of original order, this series was arranged by grouping like material.
