Banking-related papers of Robert Clayton, John Morris, et al., from the Fairfax Library, circa 1650-1700

The Papers of Robert Clayton, John Morris, et al. relating to English banking, Folger manuscript V.b.377, v.1-145, are a portion of a larger collection of private banking papers from the 17th century that has been dispersed over the past two hundred years. This collection was most recently held by the Fairfax family, who acquired it from G. Michelmore (bookseller), who purchased it at auction (Sotheby’s, March 26, 1929).

Please see the finding aid for further information. Note, however, that numbering in the finding aid does not necessarily correspond with the order of items in a bound volume. See the concordance after the list of volumes, below, for a work-in-progress key that matches the order of items within volumes to the numbering in the finding aid.

The collection is currently being processed.
