Physical Characteristics and Technical Requirements
This collection contained a large amount of typed correspondence printed on extremely brittle paper. In most cases, preservation photocopies replace the originals, which were discarded except when they contained signficant handwritten marks.
There are four German copies of Methods of Mathematical Physics Vol. II in the collection. They are all printed on brittle paper. An access copy of the book was made from the only complete copy of the book in the collection. Two copies are annotated and all annotations have been copied and made available to researchers. A fourth copy, incomplete and without annotations, was not copied. The originals have been restricted for preservation purposes. The copies and originals are housed in Boxes 61-63, including a box numbered 62b.
