Accruals

Accruals to this collection have been aquired over time and as such has altered the numbering and arrangement of this collection.

Canterbury Public Library had held some St Albans Public Library records for several years. A cleanup of the Library building unearthed futher items relating to the collection. The opportunity was therefore taken in February 1998 to integrate the newly located material within the previously incomplete series, with consequent renumbering.

In June 1998, a further and final deposit was made and the last items incorporated into the sequence.
