This collection contains papers from estates which were managed by Robert Sanders. There are twelve series in this collection which correspond to family estates. This collection holds a variety of documents including legal papers, correspondences, leases, wills, marriage settlements, financial ledgers, maps etc.
Due to the varied nature of documents and people in the collection I created subseries to emphasise which material relates to which person within the family estates. I then created sub-subseries based on the functions of these papers, which correspond to the relevant people in the subseries.
