The volume contains entries for 1954-89 and a few entries for 1996-97, 2001 and 2005-6, giving date of donation; name of donor / title of bequest; description; and sometimes value / note of items being sold. Includes silver, furniture and furnishings, china, books, paintings, plants, wine. The volume is nine tenths blank: it is unlikely that it consistently records all donations even for the period 1954-89. It is written in the hand of Rosemary Murray until the early 1980s. The book itself was donated by Rosemary Syfret in 1954. There are detailed entries covering the John Murray Elger bequest and the Eileen McElfatrick bequest. Many entries relate to gifts from Rosemary Murray herself and from the W W Spooner bequest, particularly silver.
