Arrangement
Arrangement

The series is still largely unsorted except by date.

The series contains a significant numbers of items from the seventeenth century, which have clearly become detached from the files or bundles to which they originally belonged. Until it proves possible to undertake substantial editorial and conservation work on them, only a rough indication of the contents of each piece can be given in the list.
