Index ....................... page 115 The Archives of the Diocese of Grahamstown, consisting of manuscripts and documents, pictorial material, pamphlets, maps, periodicals and related books, were deposited in the Cory Library in May 1982 as a loan collection. This initial deposit excluded manuscripts and docu ments less than 30 years old, documents considered sensitive and property records still in use by the Diocese irrespective of age. It is the intention of the Diocese to deposit further material from time to time but it will continue to apply a 30 year rule. The conditions of deposit agreed between the Diocese and the University contain amongst others, the following clauses: (a) access to the Archives will be allowed to bona fide researchers of any race group at such times as the Cory Library is open. (b) items constituting the Archives shall not be removed from the Library save in exceptional circumstances and with the sanction of the Bishop. (c) items may be photocopied for purposes of private study and research provided that: (i) in the opinion of the Cory Librarian or Deputy Cory Librarian the items to be copied will not be damaged by the copying process; and (ii) no prohibition on copying has been imposed by the Diocese. (d) items may not be copied for purposes of publication or deposit in another repository without the permission of the Bishop. No list of the contents of the Diocesan Archives would be complete without a tribute to the work of H.M. Matthew, Diocesan Secretary, who was largely responsible for organising and listing the collection in the form in which it came to the Cory Library. We have re-arranged and regrouped material but Matthew's work still influenced both what is in the Archives and how it is presented. Entries in this Register retain references to the Archives Inventory (MSS and documents) and Library Volume [L.V.] Register (Books) begun by Matthew and continued by his successors. The Cory Librarians are grateful to the Diocese (and in particular to Right Rev. Kenneth Oram, Bishop of Grahamstown) for agreeing to deposit the Archives in the Cory Library, and to the present Diocesan Secretary, Mrs Barbara McGahey, for her assistance and advice.
