RHCDES UNIVERSITY.. CCRY LIBRARY FOR HISTORICAL RESEARCH. LIST OF ACCESSIONS. No. 14. 1st. January, 1958, to 31st December, 1961. GRAHAMSTOWN 1962 INTRODUCTION (i) This list of accessions represents manuscripts, maps, microfilms, pictures and printed matter received in the Cory Library for Historical Research during the years 1958 - 1961. Thirteen lists of accessions have previously been issued, together with a Map catalogue (1957), covering the period October 1945 to December, 1957. Copies of the Map catalogue and ALL but the FIRST TREED Accession Lists are still available. Entries are listed under either signatory or subject, in alphabetical order. At the end of' the List has been appended an addendum. The abbreviations 8vo,, 4to., and fcp. are used somewhat loosely, to give an approximate indication of size; in the case of pictures and newspaper cuttings, the measurements are given to the nearest half inch. In addition to the usual bibliographic abbreviations, the Library uses "TS" for typewritten copy, and "PR" for printed documents.
