About this work

Description

An incomplete series of Thalidomide Trust beneficiary files. Each file contains a medical summary document and a database classification code file. Most files also contain a scanned version of the physical beneficiary file, either as a single PDF or with each document scanned as a separate file. Where the same digital version of the beneficiary file exists in either PP/CNE/C/3/6 or PP/CNE/C/3/10, the PDF in this series has not been retained.

Arrangement

The digital files were originally transferred on 30 data CDs, with as many beneficiary files per disc as would fit. One disc was an exact duplicate of another and the content was not preserved. Three discs were password protected and the content could not be transferred. One disc was partially corrupted and not all the data could be transferred. The data that was transferred has been arranged into eighteen batches, based on the maximum file quantities permitted by our preservation system.
