As with other series shelfmarked MS. Ch. and MS. Rolls, this is an artificial collection created from a range of archival sources, and the provenance of individual items is not always known.

The collection catalogued in 1878 comprised MSS. Ch. Northumberland 1-4 and MSS. Rolls Northumberland 1-2. Provenance was not recorded, although Ch. 4 belonged to Ralph Thoresby and the other items may also have done (see the collection overview for Yorkshire for more information).

Ch. 5-19 are later accessions from a range of sources.
