The following is a list, supplied by Dr. A.P. Lewis, Curatorial Officer, The Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts, of major manuscript collections relating to the history of Roman Catholicism which have been deposited in record repositories in 1996. Readers should note that some deposits may not be fully listed and the appearance of a collection in this digest does not necessarily mean that it will be available for research. Further enquiries regarding access should be addressed to the staff of the relevant repository. The complete text base of the Commission's Accessions to Repositories, together with thirty-two other digests covering a range of historical themes, is available via the Commission's website (http://www.hmc.gov.uk).
