Context (Amendments / updates)
Z 41311 A-H were accessioned at the same time. Many of them have historic labels indicating that they were donated by Hutton, and it is likely that they were all assumed to be from the same source. For those without labels clearly indicating provenance, the Source field has been updated to include this uncertainty.
