Scope and content
Manuscript notes, typescript top and carbon copies (including duplicates), which Beard separated and alphabetised by entry headings into two broad groups, ‘Arms and Armour’ and ‘Costume and Textiles’. In all cases other than C and U, the two groups were originally in a single folder by initial letter, turned back to back, bottom to top, to separate them from each other. The groups have now been placed in two separate folders, although there is some overlap between the two categories.
There are no notes for X, Y or Z.
Creator
Beard, Charles Relly (1891-1958), historian of costume, arms and armour
Blair, Claude (1922-2010), museum curator, scholar and antiquary
