Hannen family archive
Sub-fonds
1741-2015
70 files, 73 volumes, 15 items, 2 portfolios and 7 boxes
Family archive of the descendants of James Hannen (1755-1829) and Lucy Ann Walker (1761-1841), which includes the papers of some members of six generations of the family, notably the three brothers, James Hannen (1821-1894), Benjamin Hannen (1830-1906) and Nicholas Hannen (1842-1900) and a number of their descendants.
The papers were collected and assembled by various members of the family to preserve their memory. The archive (which includes legal papers, letters, diaries, school and military papers, scrapbooks, photographs, theatre programmes, poetry, deeds, and a collection of letters and signatures of prominent political, legal and literary personalities), illustrates the family's history, their professional careers and leisure interests and provide interesting insights into upper middle-class British society from the 1850s to the 1950s.

The archive was assembled by members of the Hannen family
The papers of the family members were assembled over generations from a number of sources. Over time, the papers have become disordered and it has been necessary to impose an artificial order to make sense of the archive. The papers have been arranged in family group order, with a series representing each member of the family, whose papers survive:
