Scope & content
Mr. Robertson corresponded with several people to exchange information about records, entertainers and numericals. Some of his correspondents really helped him in his research while he helped others in their own field. He also received several newsletters which he filed with his correspondence. These newsletters were used to establish contacts with other collectors or sent by correspondents. Mr. Robertson established a file for each correspondent. The system remains the same; the files were classified in alphabetical order and the letters in chronological order. Series A includes Don Cleary's collectors directory - 1977. Some of the addresses of Mr. Robertson's correspondents were taken from that directory. Some miscellaneous notes and photocopies were grouped together but not organized by subject. These refer to a variety of subjects discussed in the correspondence but cannot be associated with any particular letter or correspondent. Since Mr. Robertson filed these material with his correspondence, it has been left in that series. Some letters which had only the correspondent's first name or no name at all were found in the collection. These could not be placed with any other letters and have been grouped together in an "Anonymous" file.
