The Booth Charities: General

This sub-subfonds contains material which has relevance to the charities of both Humphrey Booth the Elder and Humphrey Booth the Younger. The title 'The Booth Charities: General' has been assigned because it was used to describe the contents of boxes during the transferral of the documents from the office of Taylor, Kirkman and Mainprice in 1969-1970, and best describes the nature of the following documents. From the nineteenth century a joint body of Trustees was created for both charities, thus combining facets of charity administration. Both the provenance and the original order of the documents would have been obscured had they been split and placed into any of the other sub-subfonds.
