Custodial History

This series had been held by the Museum of Childhood but was transferred to the V&A Department of Theatre and Performance in 2015 to be united with the rest of the Richard Leacroft Collection. It is because of this later accrual that the material relating to architectural history publications is catalogued as a separate series.
