Scope And Content
These 18 volumes were created by Winifred Lamb and document her travels, excavations, friends and colleagues such as Lilian Chandler and Bernard and Dorothy Ashmole. The spines were labelled in roman numberals by Lamb; volume V was not received from the Lamb estate. Some of the photographs may have been taken by some of her colleagues and later given to her. It seems that if a photograph has initials in the bottom corner it was a way to record who took/gave those photographs to her. Winifred Lamb captioned the images in black ink (fountain pen). Helen Waterhouse later added identifications on the pages of these albums in black ball point pen, as well as on pieces of paper. Lesley Beaumont also did these identifications in pencil.
