Summary catalogue J5 Bursars' Ledgers etc.

Scope & Content:

one Balliol Bursary springback file of receipted and audited invoices for a three month period of 1922. The file bore labels; (a) inside “Emberlin and Sons College Stationers and Printers 26 Ship Street” ;and (b) on the spine  “1922/From Page 268/To Page 300”; the latter indicate the Bursary Ledger pages to which these invoices correspond. Normally they would not have been retained after audit; this file is a stray survival of what would have been considered administrative ephemera.

Provenance:

acquired from JV Ramsbottom (1961) via JHJ.

Extent:

1 archive box.

Arrangement and Description:

Each item had been numbered in red  ink between 268 and 300 top right (the relevant corresponding page in the Bursary Ledgers) and showed a blue auditors’ stamp “W,S, & W. 1923”. After separation into groups according to the red ink numbers, the items in each group were numbered by JHJ in pencil near bottom right. Items are currently listed in full for pp.268-281 and in part for pp.282-300.

Invoices for pp.268-273 have been digitised: images online.
