The designs have been arranged by the archivist into folders by the original titles on the designs (found at the top left of the print-outs) and then within folders, chronologically.

Most designs were loose in the box but a few were in original folders. These designs have been marked with an * and the original folder titles have been used instead of the titles on the design print-outs.
