SMALL COLLECTIONS AND INDIVIDUAL DOCUMENTS......... p. 97 REGISTER OF DOCUMENTS NO. 30 This number of the Register lists the Grahamstown Training College Archives and a number of other medium sized and small collections including the 6th Supplement of the Methodist Archives Collection. These collections have been received over a considerable number of years and would normally have appeared in earlier numbers of the Register had these not been devoted to larger collections. The bulk of the material appearing in this Register has also been included in the National Register of Manuscripts (NAREM) data base and is listed in the published Guide to manuscripts in the Cory Library for Historical Research (September 1986] obtainable from the Government Archives Service. Normally the entries in the NAREM Guide and data base do not list collections in the same detail as they are described here. Some individual documents and small collections have been fully described in the NAREM records and so have been omitted from this Register. The conditions of deposit and access differ considerably from collection to collection. Full details can be obtained from the Cory Librarian. The Cory Librarians are grateful to the individuals and institutions who have made these collections available for research purposes in the Cory Library. J.M. Berning S.C.T.
