Condition - Generally fair. Some small pieces of paper (music) are pinned onto the larger sheets. No need for conservation, except for possible removal of pins. In folders ‘Mss. vol. 4’ and ‘Mss. vol. 5’, the introductions, stored in separate envelopes for protection, contain numerous pins, attaching small pieces of music to thin writing paper; these fragile sheets would all need some conservation.

Work done - All items dusted with brush and put into new archive envelopes. Several pins removed and replaced with plastic clips; positions of all remaining pins marked with acid free markers. Fragile or loose items protected and supported with acid free sheets and plastic clips. In folders ‘Mss. vol. 4’ and ‘Mss. vol. 5’, the introductions stored in separate envelopes, with acid free sheets interleaved between the thin writing paper sheets for protection from the numerous pins. Boxed in new archive box. General inventory created. Published items listed individually.
