Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

There is no unifying factor to these papers (e.g. that they relate to property owned by one estate or family or the legal work of one office), they were simply collected for their antiquarian interest before being passed to the archive.

A demicastor was a hat made of inferior beaver fur, often mixed with other furs.
