Arrangement

The material in this subseries is grouped together by special events, commemorative months and years, and anniversaries that were observed by NAWA. Any show or exhibition that were held within these themes are arranged here, rather than in the traveling, foreign, annual, or single venue subseries. This is based on the original arrangement of the material. The material is arranged in by grouping, in rough chronological order.
