November 1984' INTRODUCTION

The papers in this collection are the work of Edwin Hadlow Wl6e Dunkin, F.S.A. (l&t9 - 1915).

After his death the bulk of his papers was presented by his widow to the British Museum and the Sussex Archaeological Society. The British Museum retained 221 volumes (Add. MSS 39326-39358); certain items which they did not require were sent by them to our Society, who added them to their own collection.

The collection in this library consists mainly of transcripts of documents from a great variety of sources including public, diocesan and parish records, the emphasis being on Sussex clergy, genealogy and manorial history. The material is in the form of manuscript volumes, notebooks, series of paper slips and loose papers. Many of the papers appear to be working notes from which Dunkin compiled his finished volumes.

Arrangement

The collection has been arranged as far as possible according to subject matter, but a batch of papers concerning many aspects of the parish and manor of Buxted has been kept intact, as this appears to have been Dunkin's intention. All the small notebooks, exercise books and loose papers have been housed in boxes or other containers, and the boxes and separate items within have been numbered. The index on pages 7 to 11 below- refers each item to its box number and item number where relevant.

The large bound volumes are shelved individually according to their Dewey Class Number, and a list of titles i s given on page 4 of this Guide.

Published Works A list of published works by Dunkin which are in the library appears on page 5.

-5­ MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTION NOTEBOOKS

OUNKIN and BAX

In the Dunkin Collection there are 76 small manuscript notebooks containing copies of monumental inscriptions; 47 of these, marked 'A.R.B.', were transcribed, not by Dunkin, but by his contemporary A.R. Bax.

Owing to duplication of some of the numbers difficulty has often been experienced when following up a reference to these notebooks. For example 'Dunkin No. 44' might refer either to Dunkin's notebook No. 44 or to Bax's 'A.R.B. 44'. Furthermore, many of Dunkin's notebooks bore two or even three different numbers.

The Dunkin notebooks have therefore been re-numbered. The new numbers are on yellow labels and all other numbers on these notebooks should be ignored. They arenow housed in Duhkin boxes Numbers 6 and 7.

The Bax notebooks have been placed inBax box number 1. Bax*s original labels and numbers have been retained, and in addition each notebook bears a red label showing its number preceded by the name 'Bax'.

A key to the old and new numbers of the notebooks is given below.
