The bulk of the new additions are records of British American Tobacco (BAT) and Philip Morris documents that were withheld from public view under claims of privilege - known in LTDL as "privileged documents". With privileged documents, there is no document image but there is an index record with detailed information about the document.
The breakdown of new documents is as follows:
70,527 BAT privileged document records 7,794 Philip Morris privileged document records 59 RJ Reynolds documents
