Immediate source of acquisition
These papers were created by the commission but there are no records for who deposited them at the Church of England Record Centre, or when this happened. At CERC they were grouped with other Archbishops' Commissions to form the artificial fonds CERC: AC. These catalogue entries were migrated from the records management sytem in September 2012 and the records moved to Lambeth Palace Library when the two institutions combined in 2021.
Administrative / biographical background

The commission was created and chaired by Geoffrey Fisher, Archbishop of Catnerbury. He worked hard on canon law revision and many of his papers are on this subject. It had six meetings in 1960-1962 and the changes proposed were enacted under Michael Ramsey, Archbishop of Canterbury in 1969. The secretary was David M. M. Carey
