Scope and content
The subfonds contains copies of outgoing mail as well as the IBI’s incoming and outgoing correspondence (letters and telexes). There are gaps in each of the series in the subfonds: IBI/5/1/1 Originals, IBI/5/1/2 Outgoing, and IBI/5/1/3 Telexes and telegrammes. For series IBI/5/1/1 Originals, mail is missing prior to the last trimester of 1982. After this time, the series is relatively complete and regular until the first trimester of 1988. Series IBI/5/1/2, Outgoing correspondence, is more fragmented and incomplete and does not contain any documents prior to 1983. Series 5/1/3 contains only a few files of incoming telexes and telegrams for the years 1986-1987.
