Notebooks

There are 54 notebooks compiled by Mr Leeds. He used them to record different information. They comprise:

• excavation notebooks,
• records of visits to museums and archaeological sites throughout Britain and Europe (where Leeds has noted the name of the museum, often the display case number, a description and sketch of the object he is interested in),
• notebooks used for vocabulary lists (Spanish, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and German into English),
• an address book,
• notebooks used for indexes to articles and
• a journal recording part of a trip made by Leeds to Scandinavia in 1909.
