Context (Amendments / updates)
'There are 2 objects with this IDNO. There are no Roscoe objects in the 1920 Accession Register. A separate card catalogue was compiled for the Roscoe Collection in 1920 (see Annual Report) and given numbers beginning with " 20" , duplicating Accession Register numbers. To avoid confusion, objects in the Roscoe Collection with 1920 numbers have now been given the suffix "/Roscoe". T.Cotterill, 22/2/2001.'
