Hatfield House Archives PAPERS OF Elizabeth, 5th Marchioness of Salisbury - file list *Please note that the numbering of these papers is not final* Ref: 5MCH The collection comprises 12 boxes. Boxes 1-8 contain letters in bundles and each bundle has been treated as a file. Except bundle 1 (where the letters were numbered by Betty), letters in Box 1 and Box 2 bundle 1 have been numbered consecutively according to their original bundle e.g. letters in bundle 2 are numbered 2/1 – 57. These bundles were also divided into packets so that they could be foldered. This level of processing and repackaging could not be maintained in the time available for the project so from Box 2 bundle 2 onwards the original bundles have been retained with the total number of letters in each bundle being recorded. Letters are usually annotated with correspondent’s name and date of receipt by Betty, these names/nicknames have been used in the file lists to facilitate locating letters within the bundles. Full names and titles of significant correspondents are given in Appendix A. Unidentified correspondents are listed first for each bundle with additional information that may help to identify them later. Correspondents are listed once for each bundle containing their letter/letters. Box 1a, Box 1b Bundle 6, Box 3 Bundle 12-Box 8 Bundle 14 are listed alphabetically by surname but names have not been reversed Box 1b Bundle 7 & 8, Box 2 Bundle 1-Box 3 Bundle 11 are listed alphabetically by first name or title where no first name is given Box1b Bundles 9-11 and Box 2 Bundle2/1-20 only contain letters from “Bobbety”, Robert Gascoyne-Cecil Boxes 9 & 10 contain personal papers and ephemera which have been listed individually.
