Placed in the University's care by the Dean and Chapter of Durham in 1948.
Stock checked by William Greenwell, late 19th century (in
Misc.Ch.7309), February 1965 and (outer envelopes only) September 2023.
Only discrepancies are as follows:
DCD 5.1.Elemos.18 is not noted as in duplicate by Greenwell, though 18a and 18b were recorded 1965 and 2023
2.2.Elemos.9 is not noted as missing by Greenwell, though it is recorded as missing in 1965 and 2023
3.2.Elemos.14-22 are not included in Greenwell's list (all but one are now part of Misc.Ch., with 3.2.Elemos.22 untraced)
4.2.Elemos items that are now part of Misc.Ch. are either omitted from Greenwell's list (1c, 6", 6"bis, [15], [16], [17], 18-20), or noted as "not here June 8 1892" (7-12, 14)
6.2.Elemos.4-5 were missing in 1965, but found in 1979 and present 2023
3.4.Elemos.6 is recorded by Greenwell as in triplicate, but in fact 4 copies survive and were noted in 1965
5.4.Elemos.3 is not explicitly noted as missing by Greenwell but his entry implies it may have been (see list) - it was missing 1965 and 2023
Some items are noted as 'wanting' by Greenwell, though they have now been identified within Misc.Ch., as noted within the catalogue entries
Permission to make any published use of material from the collection must be sought in advance from Durham Cathedral Library (library@durhamcathedral.co.uk). The Library will assist where possible with identifying copyright owners, but
responsibility for ensuring copyright clearance rests with the user of the material.
The numbering system reflects the medieval organisation of the documents in boxes with multiple compartments: the first number is the compartment, the second the box, and the final one the number in the sequence (thus
1.2.Elemos.5 is the fifth document in the first compartment of the second box). The numbers were assigned in the Repertorium Magnum.
Alm.Sm.Cart. p.39-66 is an inventory, with index of places (p.39), to the charters of the office of the almoner of Durham, drawn up by William of Appleby almoner in 1399;
considerably annotated, amended and enlarged, mostly in the hands of John Fishburn and Thomas Swalwell.
Misc.Ch.7309 is a list compiled by William Greenwell, apparently from Alm.Sm.Cart. p.36-66, supplemented by original documents not included in that
inventory, as identified by their endorsements.

This piece is in a hand similar to those found on Bursar's accounts early in the second half of the fourteenth century. One entry appears to record the amount of the Saturday livery and then those to whom it was paid, the form found on the
fragment of a Cellarer's account c.1350 [Loc.XVIII:14]; by 1364-5 the persons are specified before the sum.
