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. Staffs. 1-61 and MSS. Rolls Staffs. 1-2, of unrecorded provenance. Ch. 47 belonged to Richard Rawlinson.
MSS. Ch. Staffs. 62-103 are later accessions from a variety of sources.
