Fut Jensen's personal documents

Introduction
This is a complete index of Fut Jensen's personal documents (and relevant press cuttings) which Ib Rømer Jørgensen inherited when Fut Jensen died in 1983. Fut's personal photo archive and collection of personal documents comprises three folders, which may have been organised by Fut himself, or by Rømer following Fut Jensen's death. Whilst it is therefore not clear to the producers as to how complete this collection is, and to whom its organisation is to be attributed, it is assumed that Ib Røber was responsible for organising the folders.
