Summary
The index, contained in folders 10 through 15, breaks up first by word (i.e., Aurora, conduction, flame, etc.). Under a word and indented would be further break downs if it was needed. For example, under Aurora there is a list of dates and next to the date a small explanation like elevation of, or in different countries. After the date and explanation follows a page number. In some cases the space under the word is completely filled in with entries other times it is mostly empty space. This index is a working index that is being constructed as the material is being written.
