Condition Description

This large collection of papers related to the FOS organization for a long period came from various sources and require a large amount of re-sorting and re-arranging before they could be turn into useful resources. Initial re-sorting and re-arranging have been done over a long period since its transfer from the backup storage in 2008. The accession has only been turned into a number of resources in 2016, although more work still needs to be done in detailed re-sorting and re-arranging, as well as considerable amount of restoration of some individual records.
