Sir Reginald Maxwell, I.C.S., and Lady Maxwell.

Bombay Presidency: 1907-1944.

This collection has been reorganised twice, once in 1978 and again in 2019. Items from Boxes 1 to 10 in the original printed handlist are now separately held in the photograph collection. The papers, which originally commenced at box 11, are here re-listed in a straight numerical order. If you have followed a citation from a book published before 2020, then you will need to adjust your search accordingly: Box 11 is Box 1, Box 12 – Box 2, and so on.

A detailed list is to be found in the boxes.
