Arrangement |
Much of this collection was examined, partly arranged and inventoried by Sir William Fraser in 1883 (see GD472/121). GD472/1-10 conform to the original Fraser arrangement. Other bundles were 'examined' and items removed and re-arranged by Fraser and these have also been noted where possible. |
