Accessions registers for archival material formerly held in the Horniman Museum Library

Accessions registers for the Horniman Museum's special collections, including photographic and audio visual collections, from the period they were stored in the museum library. The registers pre-date the use of MIMSY to accession and catalogue the musuem's archive material. Most accession numbers in the registers are prefaced with the letter C and correspond with some entries which remain in the Library catalogue.
