Title
British Museum (Natural History): Department of Mineralogy: Registers of Departmental and other Correspondence
Date
1890-1974
Description

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.

Related material

Separated material: Although there is no direct evidence that early registers have been lost or destroyed, it seems likely that the volume for 1936-1937 was originally one of a series.
