Archival history
  • The material in this collection has a range of provenances bought in in small sections at events held by the Caldecott Association. A section was gathered partially from the organisation (Cat ref SA/CA/FDN) but the majority of the material are personal items relating to the Caldecott Community from it's former pupils. The structure of the listing reflects this as it has been broken down into series based on who the material is related to. The Caldecott Association have listed and digitised parts of the collection with little input from an archivist. In 2018, a basic structure was added to the listing in order to make it easier for Association members to list their own material. The structure consists of series created based on the item's provenance and sub series where created based on whether the material is 1.papers, 2.photographs or 3.objects.
