| The Croome collection is available for you to view now. Please be aware, however, that a project is currently taking place until August 2009 to catalogue the collection. This means that some documents will have limited access granted to them whilst they are being catalogued, and that there is no inventory available for the collection yet. It also means that we are discovering new and interesting documents within the collection every day! Please be patient with us during the next two years whilst we make this fascinating collection more fully available to you. |
