Archival note
What the source folder contains
The folder contains 19 PDFs: one six-page historical guide and 18 facsimile records. Four identical folder copies were found on the local drives; file hashes confirm that they are exact duplicates, not four different editions.
The 48-page special deliberately repeats material from earlier Advent Review numbers. That duplication belongs to the historical publication and has been retained. No issue-number gaps occur within either numbered run. Exact publication days are not printed, so records are dated only to month and year.
