Bursars' correspondence and papers

Administrative / Biographical history

This series was taken from boxes marked 'from the black sacks in the Bursary'. They were possibly considered still semi-current and therefore not seen by Noel Blakiston when he sorted uncatalogued archives roughly by decade.

Date

1832 - 1956

Extent & medium

37 boxes

Content description

The majority of these records date from the first half of the twentieth century, filling the gap between the end of the COLL/B/1 series and the start of the subject files COLL/B/SF, though there are overlaps in both directions, notably on 19th century building projects. Most concern internal Eton matters although there are some papers on agricultural estates. Subjects include air-raid precautions, the collections, College Chapel organ (including 19th century correspondence), drainage, examinations,houses - with bundles on individual houses as well as more general material, Lower Chapel, salaries, the Millington-Drake gift, prizes, the Provost's Lodge, the Sanatorium, school buildings, town planning and war damage.

Arrangement

There was no order in the papers as found so they have been arranged by subject and within that alphabetically.
