Report of the Town Clerk.

The Committee received a report of the Town Clerk confirming that the ownership and responsibility for the Gresham Music Collection lay with Gresham College, and that it was insured by the City of London Corporation, along with the Guildhall Library’s other collections. Members noted that the collection was not part of the original Gresham bequest, but was in the Committee’s interest. Although the Committee was not in a position to help financially, Members offered to suggest interested parties or organisations where funding might be available. It was also noted that Professor John Guy had been made aware of the collection, should it have relevance to the biography of Sir Thomas Gresham. 

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
