Papers and notes of Frank Roydon Richards, mostly concerning the decipherment of the Linear B script, with material concerning other cuneiform scripts.
Frank Roydon Richards, rector of Glasgow Academy from 1932 to 1959, devoted much of his retirement to the study of Linear B and especially the methods used by Michael Ventris, to whose decipherment he took a sceptical attitude.
