Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The Berkeley castle muniments reflect the history of the Berkeley family since it first acquired the castle and honour in 1154. From its own inception the Society has had a major role in making the muniments available for study by publishing documents kept at the castle and recently printing a catalogue of those of a date prior to 1492. In his presidential address the castle archivist chronicles what has so far been discovered about the accumulation, preservation and management of the archive from earliest times to the present day. Reasons are offered for some of the losses of documents in earlier periods. Suggestions are made about how and why some of the most puzzling items, including the earliest charters, were written and how others arrived at the castle. Some of the more important manuscripts are discussed. The effects of attempts to produce catalogues during the 19th century are charted. The nature and location of previous places of storage, known as 'evidence houses', are briefly mentioned. | |||
