Personal Account Ledgers, 1838-[1911]
Scope and Contents
These volumes vary in content and layout; they seem to overlap each other in years without clear rationale. They represent both bursarial and tutorial concerns, and it could be that different tutors used different volumes. Entries cover personal expenses such as Laundry fees (for earlier ledgers) and exam fees etc.
