CustodialHistoryEnvelope has been annotated by former archivist, "Photos of KP - Assorted Ages and some of Family. I have taken out one copy of each photograph to go into Pearson Papers UCL, MM [Maxine Merrington]" It is likely that these photographs were deposited by E S Pearson with his own papers, and were removed by Merrington for inclusion in his father's papers.
