The slips are arranged in alphabetical order by subject within one of three broad geographic files: 1. Elizabeth NJ 2. Union County NJ 3. New Jersey (state) At the top of each slip is the geographic file name, the subject heading and the year. One or more entries are arranged in chronological order on each slip. All of the entries are handwritten. Each entry consists of the citation (mo-dy-page) followed by the headline. All of the entries on a single slip are from the same year.
SIZE OF INDEX:  About 300 entries per year are added to the index.
