Extent:

Scope and content:

Series IV. Bates Index contains the index created by Weekes & Candler staff for the portion of this collection (approximately 50%) that is stamped with Bates numbers. Bates numbers are a sequential number that is stamped onto each page or group of pages in the collection as a way to track the documents. The index is organized by Bates number and has a page of information about each document. That information can include the title, author, date, description of the document and why it was important to the case, the name of the case it was for, and if it was used in evidence.

Researchers who locate documents of interest using the index can find the box and folder number that contains the document using this spreadsheet.
