The original arrangement of the correspondence was alphabetical by year, and this system has been maintained. Correspondence post-1962 was not organized. Instead, it has been arranged under the earlier material. Correspondence for the years 1940 44 was divided into three separate units. One unit formed part of the Main Correspondence, while the other two were kept in filing cabinets believed to have originated at the University of New Brunswick.

These units are now interfiled in Main Correspondence (index cards identify the original location of any given piece of correspondence).
