Scope and Content

The papers, publications and photographs in the collection McLaren Family Papers have been carefully collected by Marjory Miller nee McLaren. Over the years Mrs Miller has separated the papers according to a number of methods which include individual, date or subject. The letters and papers were tightly bound by string and enclosed in plastic bags and kept in two small boxes and one small suitcase in the study and one large suitcase in the attic. Mrs Miller has also written in pencil on many of the papers, identifying people, dates and relatives.
