Other Finding Aids
Before the collection came to the Advocates’ Library, a very full inventory had been compiled, a copy of which is placed as Adv.MS.82.9.14. The original order, which may be seen from the inventory, has been disturbed as little as possible. Papers up to circa 1750 have been thoroughly indexed in the Advocates’ Manuscripts Cumulative Index. Later papers have been indexed more selectively, but the rejected slips have been preserved as Adv.MS.82.9.16.
Custodial History
The collection was bequeathed to the Advocates’ Library by T L Kington Oliphant of Gask (died 1902) and received in 1919.
Immediate Source of Acquisition
Presented, 1925, by the Faculty of Advocates to the nation on the foundation of the National Library of Scotland.
