R.A. Skelton and John Summerson. A description of maps and architectural drawings in the collection made by William Cecil First Baron Burghley now at Hatfield House. (Oxford. 1971) This sumptuous catalogue was privately printed for presentation to members of the Roxburghe Club and is available at the British Library and other copyright libraries.
Many of our collections were calendared, catalogued and/or indexed in the 19th century and are therefore not yet in an electronic format. These are searchable in the archives office only.
Some of our catalogues are available through the National Register of Archives. These include:
- NRA 10632 (Edgar Algernon Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, Viscount Cecil of Chelwood Papers). A larger collection of the papers of Lord Cecil of Chelwood is in the British Library (Add. Mss. 51071- 51204).
- NRA 32925 (Gascoyne-Cecil family, Marquesses of Salisbury: family and estate papers, HMC survey)
- NRA 10535 (Hugh Richard Heathcote Gascoyne-Cecil, Baron Quickswood Papers)
- NRA 9226 (Robert Arthur Talbot Gascoyne-Cecil, 3rd Marquess of Salisbury: Private Foreign Office Correspondence)
The Gascoyne Papers, relating to property in Liverpool have been deposited at Liverpool Record Office. A catalogue is available on www.a2a.org.uk
