CustodialHistoryThe collection of English deeds, MS DEEDS ANGLO, was probably donated by Sir Hilary Jenkinson and used as a teaching collection for the archive studies course at UCL.
The provenance of the Latin deeds, MS LAT, is unclear but at least one was presented by Sir Flinders Petrie.
The remaining deeds in other languages (French, German and Spanish, and some in Latin of Spanish and French origin and one additional English deed) were found in 2014 boxed with the collection of MS fragments (see MS FRAG), but the provenance of these deeds is unknown.
