One exception is Church's 1995 published paper, which is placed in 1990, the year it was presented in a conference. In addition, a folder of miscellaneous, loose, and unidentified manuscript pages from Church's writings is at the end of Box 8. The second half of the series (Boxes 9-15) contains material pertaining to collected works of Church projects (unpublished as of this writing), early versions of Church's seminal textbook, Introduction to Mathematical Logic, the first edition of which was published by the Princeton University Press in 1956 (Church's many stenographer's notebooks filled with notes for the book are also included here), as well as some of Church's lectures, abstracts, and unpublished manuscripts. Church's mathematics and philosophy articles for the Encyclopaedia Britannica, along with his related editorial work and correspondence, are located in the Subject Files series.
