Custodial history
The York University Archives Manuscript collection was created to handle small batches of manuscripts and discrete items that were transferred from Rare Books to the Archives & Special Collections in the 1970s. They tended to be material that was acquired by librarians from antiquarian book dealers prior to the establishment of the archives.
