Note to Researchers: the files in the Dawn Black fonds have unique colour identifiers after each file title -- [Green File], [Blue File] and [Red File]. These designations replace the actual colour striping found on the original file jackets. They are indicators of a unique style of filing which Dawn Black used in her office, namely:

[Green File] - indicates correspondence on an issue (with individuals, organizations, universities, MP's, and Cabinet Ministers; there are occasional reports, press clippings, near-print documents and speeches and conference materials)

[Blue File] - indicates reference material and research on an issue (consisting largely of press clippings, research material, reports, memos, print and near-print material, position papers and memos, with occasional correspondence)

[Red File] - indicates NDP position on it, expresses Party policy on an issue (press releases, statements in the House and elsewhere, and also speeches, press releases near-print and some memos and correspondence)
