Provenance
In the original (1962) Romany Catalogue this was said to have consisted of 38 drawings.However at some point additional 5 drawings have been added and possibly mixed together, [some were catalogued/duplicated as part of BC Rom 2 but it is unclear which were part of the original deposit]. In 2017 these have been combined/kept together as one group and where additional evidence is found that suggests that any were a later deposit - notes will be made per item.
System of arrangement
The order in which these were found has been maintained as it was not originally clear whether the order of these, 1-38 was as per the original order whilst in the possession of Dorothy Una Ratcliffe. As cataloguing has progressed it appears less likely that this was the case but rather that it was imposed after its arrival at the University.
