Administrative / biographical background

'King's College. A Short History' (Cambridge, 1958) is an off-print in book form of John Saltmarsh's chapter on King's College for the 'Victoria County History of Cambridgeshire' (1958). John Saltmarsh had placed this material (JS/1/77-8) in two labelled boxes and his overall arrangement has been maintained. However, loose pages of notes have been placed in envelopes which do not represent his original divisions.
