Administrative / Biographical History

The papers form the core elements within the larger estate archive of the Mellish family. In subject matter and date, they complement other groups of papers in the Mellish archive, particularly that material separately catalogued as Me 2. There are many areas of overlap between these groups, which are defined as separate collections because of the date and manner of their transfer to the University. See the collection level record (Me) for details about the Mellish family and their papers.

Arrangement

The collection is divided into series according to form of material and arranged chronologically within sections.
