To avoid repetition, constantly recurring administrative topics have been listed only when they are of special significance (e.g. the resignation or appointment of a major office holder or the structural reorganisation of the Bureau).

Similarly, the planning and progress of the research that was a continuous preoccupation of the various committees has been mentioned only in exceptional instances (e.g. plans for the reshaping of Venture). For the Bureau's publications during this period, and other unpublished writings, see MSS. Brit. Emp. s. 365/31-45.

Duplicates of many of the committee papers and memoranda are scattered throughout these boxes. Cross-references have been made only to papers missing from or relevant to a particular sequence. There are numerous copies of certain documents.

Deputations and memoranda mentioned are, unless otherwise stated, from the FCB.
