SELECT DIGEST OF MANUSCRIPT ACCESSIONS TO REPOSITORIES, 1993, RELATING TO THE HISTORY OF WALES The Historical Manuscripts Commission collects information annually from over 270 repositories and record offices relating to their manuscript accessions. The information is disseminated by the publication of thematic digests in a wide range of learned journals and newspapers. It is also added to the computerized indexes of the National Register of Archives which can be used by visitors to the Commission's search room at Quality House, Quality Court, Chancery Lane, London WC2A 1HP. The Commission will also answer limited and specific postal enquiries.
