Administrative Information

The deposit was made on indefinite loan by Mr M.G. Hughes, a former senior technical records clerk with John Summers & Sons (BSC) steelworks, Shotton. It was delivered by Mr Hughes on the 25th June 1992.

The Modern Records Centre uses a classification scheme which is compatible with ISAD(G): General International Standard Archival Description (2000). For further details see the Centre's web pages.

An interim list is available in paper format in the Centre's searchroom. The list identifies minutes series and some other categories, but the bulk of the deposit is described in random fashion in a group of boxes (1-13) classified as MSS.316/3, correspondence and papers. An authority file exists for M. G. Hughes (GB 0152 AAR1381).
