The Morrison Archives1
41 THE MORRISON ARCHIVES1 CAROLINE DAKERS Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design, University of the Arts London The first stage of cataloguing the archives of the nineteenth century merchant James Morrison has been completed by John D’Arcy (formerly of the Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre) for Alastair, 3rd Baron Margadale. When the database is finished it will be possible to access a very important private collection of relevance to historians of nineteenth and twentieth century business and economics, collecting, parliament, agriculture and land management. The archives have been organised by D’Arcy in 300 large boxes each containing up to 10 kilograms of papers. The catalogue has 3,000 entries, some of which cover hundreds of letters or papers. When completed the database will have thousands of subjects. When the archives are accessible (probably mid-2012) visits will probably be organised via John D’Arcy and the Fonthill Estate and there will be a small charge.2 Part of the Morrison archive in the original nineteenth century tin boxes (Caroline Dakers) 42 I have been using the archives for a study of the Morrisons, A genius for money, business, art and the Morrisons, published by Yale University Press in November 2011. Here, for those who are unfamiliar with the remarkable family, I introduce James Morrison and his achievements, describe how such an extensive collection was formed, and highlight some of the most important parts. Without the support of the late James Morrison, Baron Margadale and his son Alastair (3rd Baron Margadale), neither this research nor the catalogue compiled by D’Arcy, would have been possible. -

Geometry of the Butterknowle Fault at Bishop Auckland (County Durham, UK), from Gravity Survey and Structural Inversion

This fault zone has been proposed as a source of deep geothermal energy; to facilitate the design of a geothermal project in the town of Bishop Auckland further investigation of its geometry was necessary and led to the present study. We show using three-dimensional modelling of a dense local gravity survey, combined with structural inversion, that this fault has a ramp-flat-ramp geometry, ~250 m of latest Carboniferous / Early Permian downthrow having occurred on a fault surface that is not a planar updip continuation of that which had accommodated the many kilometres of Dinantian extension. The gravity survey also reveals relatively low-density sediments in the hanging-wall of the Dinantian fault, interpreted as porous alluvial fan deposits, indicating that a favourable geothermal target indeed exists in the area. -

One of the points of difference between the bearings of the Royal and Parliamentary Burghs on the one hand and those of the I Police Burghs on the other lies in the fact that the former carry castles and ships to an extent which becomes almost monotonous, while among the latter these bearings are rare. On the other hand, the Police Burghs very frequently assume a charge of which A 079 2 Aberchirder. examples, in the blazonry of the Royal and Parliamentary Burghs, are very rare : this is the cross, derived apparently from the fact that their market-crosses are the most prominent of their ancient monuments.

Howard J. Garber Letter Collection This collection was the gift of Howard J. Garber to Case Western Reserve University from 1979 to 1993. Dr. Howard Garber, who donated the materials in the Howard J. Garber Manuscript Collection, is a former Clevelander and alumnus of Case Western Reserve University. Between 1979 and 1993, Dr. Garber donated over 2,000 autograph letters, documents and books to the Department of Special Collections. Dr. Garber's interest in history, particularly British royalty led to his affinity for collecting manuscripts. The collection focuses primarily on political, historical and literary figures in Great Britain and includes signatures of all the Prime Ministers and First Lords of the Treasury. Many interesting items can be found in the collection, including letters from Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Robert Browning Thomas Hardy, Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, King George III, and Virginia Woolf.
