Further InformationAssociated with collection D544/MZ/730. Probably belonged to F T Harrison of Belper, as a letter addressed to him was with the collection (now in a File). There is an emphasis on Belper, but they cover all parts of the county. The earliest ones are more general, but there is an emphasis on nature and local history. There is a possibility that the earlier ones may have belonged originally to John Bent Wallis, the Alderwasley naturalist (1877-1953). Library catalogue C21153876
