Additional themed folders and miscellaneous papers

 Series — Box: Lyell Box 1.18 (Formerly Gen 117)
Identifier: Coll-203/7 (Lyell 7)

Scope and Contents

This series was originally created to hold miscellaneous papers, but, has been expanded to accommodate records that were part of the 1927 gift, but had remained with the Offprints within the Library, and so have not been listed until 2024. Lyell, his team or latterly his family, appear to have created 'themed' folders, reflecting his key interests - for example, see 'Sea Serpents' in the previous series. Some of these themed folders contain manunscript editorial notes on that topic. There are also miscelleanous documents that were originally part of the 1927 catalogued material, and they remain here. See also Coll-203/B18 which contains very similar records, accessioned in 2020.
