Worldwide Records

Drawer WORLDWIDE

The Worldwide drawer holds 58 records, the largest of the seven and 47 per cent of everything held in a drawer. They run from June 2017 to April 2019. 36 of them carry a 2017 filing date. The heaviest single month is September 2017, with nine.

Federal and foreign affairs: courts, agencies, the United Nations, and the Washington news cycle of 2017 and 2018. The drawers are subject classes rather than departments, so a record appears once, in the drawer it was reported under. Each keeps the address it was published at, with its filing date printed on it.

How the drawer fills

The 58 records sit across twelve calendar months inside a span of 23, so the drawer was worked in bursts rather than kept up month by month. That is 4.8 records for each month the drawer was open. The longest quiet stretch runs eleven months, between April 2018 and April 2019. The earliest filing is Defeated Trump hints at Supreme Court travel ban appeal; the latest is GOP group sorry for email calling Ocasio-Cortez ‘terrorist’.

The archive as a whole covers 43 months. This drawer was open in 75 per cent of the months anything was filed at all, and it is one of the drawers the archive opens with. Sparse drawers are kept as they were found rather than merged into fuller ones: the address a record was published at is the thing worth preserving, and folding a drawer away would break the path that leads to it.

Terms that recur

These words appear in more than one filed headline in this drawer. They are counted off the titles as they were published, so they show what the drawer was actually used for rather than what its label promises — the strongest is trump, on seven of the 58.

Filed alongside

In the same months that this drawer was open, the desk was also filing into Culture (20), Economy (14) and Sci-Tech (10). A record is filed once, in the drawer it was reported under, so a subject that straddles two classes sits in one of them and is reachable from the full index either way.

The other drawers are above. The full index — all 127 catalogued records, with a filter that reads titles, drawers and dates at once — is on the archive index.

Questions about the Worldwide drawer

How many records are in the Worldwide drawer?

58, filed between June 2017 and April 2019. That is 47 per cent of the 124 records held in drawers, making it the largest of the seven. The full index carries 127.

Which years does the Worldwide drawer cover?

2017, 2018, 2019. 36 of the 58 carry a 2017 date, more than any other year. The heaviest single month is September 2017, with nine filings.

Why is there a gap in the Worldwide filings?

Nothing was filed into this drawer between April 2018 and April 2019, a stretch of eleven months. The archive is what the paper published, not a schedule it kept: a subject class goes quiet when the desk stops filing into it. Culture was the busiest drawer in the months this one was open.

What is the earliest Worldwide record?

"Defeated Trump hints at Supreme Court travel ban appeal", filed 2017-06-16. The most recent is "GOP group sorry for email calling Ocasio-Cortez ‘terrorist’", filed 2019-04-14. Every record keeps the address it was published at, so the June 2017 to April 2019 range is browsable by date from the full index.
