Fonds MJR - Papers of Michael John Rowlandson

1 archival box

The papers were the private documents of Rowlandson and seem to have been kept within the family until their donation to the Royal Asiatic Society in 1982.

The Papers were donated by Muriel Turner, great-granddaughter of Rowlandson, in 1982.

This material contains 4 handwritten notebooks and a letter concerning their donation.

Due to the small size of the Collection it was catalogued as one series.

Open. Please contact the archivist using the email address given here. The archive is open on Tuesdays and Fridays 10-5, and Thursdays 2-5. Access is to any researcher without appointment but it will help if an appointment is made via phone or email. Please bring photo ID
