Context (Amendments / updates)
Many of the database records for the 2006 Phillipson donation were not transferred from the transcription file onto the original FileMaker database. The records have now been reinstated, but as they have been created from old documentation rather that the physical object some information may need to be expanded upon visual inspection.
For this reason a shelf location at Shorts is also yet to be documented.
