As we have tried to explain throughout the catalogue this is not a completed and therefore an historic collection. It is a living and growing one and new acquisitions do present themselves quite regularly. This presented us with the obvious problem of drawing a line at a specific point in time or finding an alternative solution.
The problem with picking a point to stop was the sheer length of time the catalogue was inevitably going to take to complete, ultimately about 18 months. We were able to incorporate the initial additions as we went along. However by January 2001 with indices underway and the contents this was no longer an option.
We decided that rather than leave out some very important items we would have a final Chapter into which we could put any new purchases literally up to the date of completion.
They are not in any specific order, location or importance, but they are of considerable interest and rarity in most instances.
