| Administrative History | This firm traces its origins to the late 19th century, when Arthur Ernest Hopkins established a practice in Chesterfield. The firm later became known as Hopkins and Proctor. |
| Custodial History | These records were deposited in October 1998, with a further item bequeathed in July 2012. |
| Arrangement | On arrival at Derbyshire Record Office, these documents were in some disarray. In many cases it has not been possible to reconstruct the original archival arrangement.
