# Reorganization Summary

The organizational strategy focuses on grouping files based on their content themes and purposes. Files containing medical case studies are grouped together due to their detailed descriptions of symptoms and treatments. Correspondence and publications are grouped separately as they pertain to academic and societal communications. Archival and reference materials are grouped based on their potential use in academic or medical archives. This approach ensures logical, coherent groups that accurately represent the content of each file.

## Groups Created

- **Medical_Case_Studies**: Files containing detailed medical case studies, symptoms, and treatments, primarily related to homoeopathic medicine.
- **Correspondence_and_Publications**: Files related to correspondence, publications, and announcements from homoeopathic medical academies and societies.
- **Archival_and_Reference_Materials**: Files that appear to be archival or reference materials, possibly related to medical archives or academic records.
