In total, the collection comprises over 3,700 pages, being ICP whole number 1 through 183, years 1971 through 2008 inclusive. Included on the CD are all the indexes published during that period, as well as the two comprehensive indexes prepared by Andrew Crenshaw, and Ken Thompson. These two indexes are hyper-linked to the specific ICP, so navigation from index to specific publication is easy.
