Description (What the record is about)
-
This series consists of register of departmental and other correspondence of the British Museum (Natural History) Department of Mineralogy.
This series consists of three sets of registers kept by individual members of staff, together with surviving volumes from the central departmental register which was the responsibility of the Department's Clerical Assistant. The registers kept by individuals contain only brief details of incoming and, in some cases, outgoing letters; the departmental registers are more detailed, and track the course of each letter around the department.
The H A Miers registers are all indexed.
