| Description: |
This is the forty third volume of Additional Manuscripts (Add Mss) to have been catalogued in the West Sussex Record Office and it has been compiled, in general, along the lines indicated in the introduction to the first volume in November 1956 The class of Additional Manuscripts embraces all the smaller gifts and deposits of documents received by the West Sussex Record Office, as distinct from the large family and estate collections, such as the Goodwood Mss, or accumulations from solicitors' offices, such as Oglethorpe and Anderson Mss; collections of official bodies, such as Quarter Sessions Records; or collections from other bodies, such as the Records of the Royal Sussex Regiment, each of which is referred to and quoted by name. The majority of Additional Manuscripts have been deeds of title, though increasingly a healthy balance of a vast range of other original material has been catalogued in these volumes. However, the pressure of the sheer weight of material to be catalogued has meant that since volume twenty nine in March 1983, the catalogues of title deeds, instead of being the detailed calendars that had been prepared until that date, have mainly been catalogued in summary lists, with the emphasis being placed on the property concerned in the transaction, rather than on the parties involved, or the technicalities of the type of legal conveyance being used. From the thirty sixth volume in November 1987, the Accession number of each collection catalogued is given at the head of each separate catalogue This catalogue includes literary papers, such as the diaries, scrap books and press cuttings books of Lillian F. Ramsay, better known as 'Mrs. Paddick' (Add Mss 46195-46244); a loose page from the memoranda book of James Dallaway, 1811 (Add Mss 46485); additional papers and correspondence of Robert Gittings, 1913-1983 (Add Mss 46503-46515); and memorabilia relating to Hilaire Belloc, 1870-1953 (Add Mss 46810-46817). There are scrap books, press notices and play bills of Serge Levien and the Bognor Regis Repertory Company, 1939-1968 (Add Mss 46349-46351), and records of Harting Whit Monday Festivities, 1965-1975 (Add Mss 46609-46612). As well as the usual deeds of title, there are a number of collections of records of Womens Institutes in the county, such as Add Mss 46272-46348, 46445-46484, 46539-46573 and 46864-46944 and records of Chichester Summersdale Towns Womens Guild, 1942-1986 (Add Mss 46528-46538).
