| Administrative History | This small collection of sale catalogues documents the disposal of some important landed estates in the county between 1935 and 1960. There is no connection between the individual items, but they provide evidence of the economic and other pressures on landowners. For instance, in one case, that of Mickleover Manor estate, the land was subsequently developed for private housing. |
| Custodial History | These items were given to Derbyshire Record Office in 1970. |
