Part of Alex Robertson fonds

Mr. Robertson corresponded with several people to exchange information about records, entertainers and numericals. Some of his correspondents really helped him in his research while he helped others in their own field. He also received several newsletters which he filed with his correspondence. These newsletters were used to establish contacts with other collectors or sent by correspondents.

Mr. Robertson established a file for each correspondent. The system remains the same; the files were classified in alphabetical order and the letters in chronological order.
