Assorted documents from Adams's personal life and professional life, ranging from electronics instructions booklets to the order of service for his funeral.

Larger items belonging to various subcategories in AdamsDN/1, boxed and catalogued together for the sake of practicality. Includes periodicals, a tourist leaflet, and musical ephemera.

Composition dates are uncertain for many items, and the ordering in this box is not at all chronological and is based on very approximate groupings of material.
