This month's Archives Hub feature by University of #Nottingham @uonlibraries.bsky.social Manuscripts & Special Collections: about Victorian architect & autograph hunter Thomas Chambers Hine blog.archiveshub.jisc.ac.uk/2026/01/13/a... #VictorianHistory #Archives #Manuscripts #Conservation

Handwritten index of Royalty and Nobility featured in the scrapbook, which takes up a small portion of the page. It is crowded with printed decorative borders, Hine’s own annotations about the scrapbook’s contents, and some decorative sketches including a plant in a pot labelled ‘VR’. The page is crowded except for a small space that has some lists of royalty in pencil that was probably intended to be inked in at a later date.

Photo of the disbound page of the scrapbook, featuring a large watercolour sketch of a tunnel, a letter and a printed image of an unidentified building, being brushed by the preservation assistant whose hands are visible.
