The majority of the documents in this collection were created by members of the Institute of Charity and so are personal in nature. The personal documents in this collection include letters, birth certificates, death certificates, application forms, passports and photographs. Any documents created by other characters mostly come in the form of letters, correspondence and reports. There are also newspaper cuttings regarding news stories that concern the Institute of Charity and its members. Maps of land owned by the Institute of Charity also make up a part of this collection. As a large part of this collection comes from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century’s, money is recorded as pounds, then shillings and then pence. The use of miles as a form of distance is also used in some documents. Most of the correspondence is handwritten but typed correspondence becomes more common from the 1980s onwards.
