Papers, the bulk of which were transferred from the chambers of Master Archibald Keen, who served in the Chancery Division of the High Court from 1912 until 1931. The series does include material generated by his predecessors and inherited by him. The predecessors of Master Archibald Keen (1912-1931) in his role as a Master/Chief Clerk were Master William Oxenham Hewlett (1890-1911), Master Edward Daniel Mellor (1883-1889) and, for causes with initial letters A-F, Master Edward Bloxam (1867-1882) and Master Edward Weatherall (1858-1866).
These relate mainly to actions concerning the administration of estates and include a number of pedigrees. There are also papers arising from company winding-up proceedings.
