Custodial history (Describes where and how the record has been held from creation to transfer to The National Archives)
- On Newton's death, a great accumulation of papers in his private residence was taken over and roughly sorted into subjects by John Conduitt, MP, the husband of Newton's stepniece, his executor, and presently his successor as Master of the Royal Mint. After earlier disposals, a large section of these papers, including that classified by Conduitt as Mint papers, was sold by auction in July 1936. Certain of them were presented to the Royal Mint by Viscount Wakefield, and other records were presented by the trustees of the British Museum.
