Collection Info
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. Lancs. 1-16 and Rolls Lancs. 1-2, of unrecorded provenance.
MSS. Ch. Lancs. 17-34 are later accessions from a variety of sources.
