As above mentioned many records have disappeared.

There are, for example, files on only seven of the at least twenty-two Assemblies held by the Federation and parts of the general correspondence have been preserved only for some of the 1930s.

Two of the boxes constitute in reality a separate archive group, the records of "Föéreningen Nordisk Folkhögskola i Genève" (the Association of the Scandinavian Adult Continuation School in Geneva), 1930-32.

The languages of those records are Danish, Norwegian and Swedish.

The papers include documents and personal memoirs and records relating to the international peace movement (au sing. dans la lettre), which can be designated as follows:

• Miscellaneous reports, correspondence, notices, which J.A. Joyce used in compiling a dissertation for the University of London history diploma on the early 19th Century Peace Societies, together with some notices and reports of the National Peace Council in Britain;

• J.A. Joyce's own speeches, press reports, published articles, pamphlets and correspondence dating from about 1926 to 1981, (contained in some dozen numbered filing cases).

The collection contains documents relating to the final meeting of the League of Nations Assembly, in which Mr. Elting, American vice-consul in Geneva in the 1940s, participated as an observer representing the United States.

There are 16 black and white photos about the final session of the League of Nations and some of the principal participants, including documents, newspapers and invitations cards relating to this final session.

One of the organized and listed boxes concerns Mr. Pelt's League of Nations career (1928-38), and the other one his activities with the United Nations (1945-1946).

Some items concern his activity as Commissioner of the United Nations in Libya, 1952-57.

Since the papers were organized, other transfers have taken place, two of which contain typescripts and documentation for his book, "Libyan independence and the United Nations: a case of planned decolonization" (published for the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, 1970).

The first six items of the collection (folder 1.1-6) contain the correspondence between Matthey, Silbernagel's attorney, and Sevensma, director of the Library of the League of Nations, concerning this legacy, as well as an extract of Silbernagel's last will and a letter by him explaining the motives of his bequest.

The actual collection consists of newspaperclippings, postcards, posters and pamphlets. All of the items concern the referendum held in Switzerland on the question of Swiss membership in the League of Nations, on 16 May 1920. Especially the activities of the Baseltown Action Committee are documented.

Contains a series of binded volumes mainly consisting of various documents, newspapers clippings and copies of articles concerning Switzerland and the UN.
