The First Calendar of Corporation Archives was commissioned by the Borough in 1880, when Richard Sims of the British Museum examined and listed in detail 261 individual documents, mainly deeds, (See accession no. 276).
No further printed calendar was commissioned for the remainder of the Corporation archives, although a major effort was made by Josiah Turner, a local schoolmaster, in 1931 when he sorted the remaining 'historical' documents in the strong room into 230 bundles. A second list was compiled in 1973 by Mr. K. F. Brown, Borough Archivist, and, to avoid confusion, the numbering and organisation adopted by Mr. Turner and Mr. Brown has been retained here.
