Custodial History
Specific details concerning the acquisition of the manuscript are unclear. It seems to have beenacquired by the library of University College Nottingham (now The University of Nottingham) in about1947. Gee donated a published copy of Survivors to University College Nottingham in 1947which is now in The University of Nottingham Department of Manuscripts and Special Collections' EastMidlands Collection. A manuscript annotation to the preface of that volume suggests that Geecompiled the collection while in Poulsbo, Washington, USA.
