    Notebooks of Katharine and Edmund Esdaile

    Manuscripts

    This series contains notebooks primarily used by Katharine Esdaile and Edmund Esdaile to document British sculptures during trips. The notebooks often contain pencil drawings and brief notes or transcriptions, and they vary in their degree of legibility. In additional, Notebook #38 contains a commonplace book kept by Katharine Esdaile in the late 1890s and Notebook #86 contains notes of classes in civil defense against mustard gas attacks, taken by Katharine Esdaile in April/May 1939. Thus far, no index has been found of the churches Katharine Esdaile visited, and there are also no lists of content in volumes written by Esdaile. Some workbooks are evidently written by Edmund Esdaile and these do have lists of contents. But how Katharine Esdaile traced relevant church entries later remains unclear. From the final volumes, she clearly was building up notes on sculptors, but how she kept records or knew where to find all the notes is also unclear. Titles and notebook numbers are chiefly based on typed labels affixed to the volumes.
