A volume of signed, duplicate minutes of the Association's meetings, which includes the minutes of AGMs and annual accounts, 1952-1971; and printed copies of its rules and General terms and conditions of sale.
This collection forms part of an archive comprising the minutes and related papers of various nut and dried fruit trade associations (MSS.313).
The Association was founded at its first meeting on 2 January 1952. On 26 May 1971, at its 19th annual general meeting, it was agreed to make an approach to join the Combined Edible Nut Trade Association (CENTA) as at 1 January 1972, at which date the Association was dissolved.
This collection is available to researchers by appointment at the Modern Records Centre, University of Warwick. See http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/library/mrc/using/
These records were deposited with the Centre in March 1992 by the Business Archives Council as a result of the work of its Rescue and Liquidation Support Group. It forms part of a larger archive whose collections form the records of a number of trade associations in the edible nut, dried fruit, spice, rice and wine trades. The associations were linked by a common use of the Port of London, in some cases by a common secretariat, and in others by eventual merger into the same organisation.
