The bulk of this material was filed alphabetically within groups of years. However, it also includes selected files of correspondence with individuals who were Dr. Penfield's personal friends.
A prefix "D" has been added to the id numbers for files 21 to 32. This is to indicate that the material in the files was taken from Dr. Penfield's home rather than his office at the Montreal Neurological Institute.
