Scope and Content

These volumes have handwriting to flyleaf, asserting the ownership of George Sims and stating his address: 12 Clarence Terrace, Regents Park. Some volumes demonstrate the later ownership of Sims's widow, living in Postford House, Surrey, and it would appear that she loaned them out to companies of actors or producers. The volumes are typescript but with varying degrees of later manuscript additions. The covers are soft-bound.

Arrangement

The scripts are arranged alphabetically by title of work.
