| Abstract: |
This session explores some unusually difficult questions of charter preservation, dealing with documents whose locations are now unknown or hard to explain. Jarrett contrasts Catalan evidence with Continental archives to ask how some documents survive in archives that they predate and which therefore had no immediate interest in them. Insley asks whether and how we can recover the documents that Anglo-Saxon archives dispensed with, and thus broadens our understanding of charter production. Finally McKinley suggests that the archive of Worcester cathedral, despite its central organisation into cartularies, was constituted from dispersed dependent holdings in the 10th century.
