Évaluation, élimination et calendrier de conservation
There is potential that this collection could be split and added to others in the RBGE archive - exam papers could added to a collection of exam papers in the education section of the RBGE Archives if such a collection was created- the letters link with those already in the probationer book, but rather than add more loose letters to these ledgers, preferable to keep separately in a folder in the Archives - G box; the handbook should go to the nursery catalogue collection in the RBGE Library.
