These records were previously held at the Bodleian Library under shelf mark MSS.D.D.Par Steeple Barton, before being transferred to Oxfordshire Record Office in the mid 1980s. They have since been augmented by accessions 3461 (deposited in April 1992), 3908 (December 1994), and 4048 (December 1995).
The entire collection was recatalogued in September 2009 by Hannah Jones.
