Description: | Archives include the Foundation Charter, the original grant of arms, the wage books of workmen who built College Chapel and Lower School, and several items signed by the founder, Henry VI. Also records earlier than 1440 from estates given as part of endowments of which the earliest is a confirmation by William II of a grant of land in Suffolk dated 1091. Up to late 18th century the archives relate almost entirely to the Provost and Fellows, the 70 KingÃ's Scholars, and the administration of the CollegeÃ's estates, but not a complete record of Oppidan Etonians until 1791. More detailed information about individual boys from 1860s. | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | Address: | c/o Eton College
