Sem títuloIn addition to numerous files items L98-117 are scrapbooks. These bound volumes of press cuttings, photographs, menus etc. cover RAB's entire political career and contain much material duplicated elsewhere in section L. They were compiled by RAB's mother, Ann Butler, until her death in 1953, when Peggy Bridge, the secretary at Stanstead Hall, took over the task. Later volumes, particularly after 1965, were probably the work of Mollie Butler. Early volumes are not strictly chronological in their arrangement. Two additional volumes kept by Ann Butler about family matters have been placed at the end of the series
