Description
This sub-subseries contains documents relating both to general University administration, and to Harold Orton's day-to-day co-ordination of the Survey of English Dialects (SED). This includes receipts, invoices and expenses claims generated by fieldworkers and sent to Orton, who in turn forwarded them to the University Bursar for processing. Further items relate to the appointment and financial support of SED Editorial Assistants, and Orton's dialogue with the University of Leeds regarding financial support for the publication of the Survey. In the period covered by this sub-sub-series, Orton was in correspondence with Bursar E. J. Brown, his successor Edmund Williamson, and the Registrar, J. V. Loach.
