New Privileged Document Records Added

Today, January 8th, we added a total of 78,380 new documents to the Legacy Tobacco Documents Library. The bulk of the new additions are records of British American Tobacco (BAT) and Philip Morris documents that were withheld from public view under claims of privilege - known in LTDL as "privileged documents". With privileged documents, there is no document image but there is an index record with detailed information about the document.

The breakdown of new documents is as follows:

70,527 BAT privileged document records
7,794 Philip Morris privileged document records
59 RJ Reynolds documents

To find these additions, search for documents added to the site on Jan 8, 2009 = ddu:20090108

And finally, as a companion to the new BAT privileged document records, we have posted the entire BAT glossary of names: http://legacy.library.ucsf.edu/glossaries/bat_gloss_a.jsp
