| Arrangement | All large folders in this series contain artwork that was formerly stored loose in three plan chest drawers. To preserve these items and facilitate retrieval, the loose artwork has been arranged into folders by medium and so does not represent the original order, which may already have been lost when the archive was transferred from Syon Abbey to the University. |
