Immediate source of acquisition:

The records of the Loyal London Volunteers were acquired by Guildhall Library in two stages, probably before 1900 (Mss 4-5) and in 1971 through the British Records Association (Ms 14290). They were catalogued by Guildhall Library staff. The Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section merged with the London Metropolitan Archives in 2009.
