| Custodial History | This small collection appears to have originated from the offices of several Aberdeen law firms, including Davidson and Garden, Lumsden and Davidson, Robertson and Lumsden, and P.H. Chalmers. It was transferred to Special Libraries and Archives in December 2005 from the University's School of Law. The records may have been collected at auction for use in teaching and private research. |
