Scope and content
Annual lists of the Master, Wardens, Assistants and Livery of the Company. Livery lists 1721-1961 are printed as broadsheets, giving full names and total number of members; names are arranged chronologically by period of admission to the cloathing, 1736-1765, and by year from 1833. From 1787, the lists are also printed as pamphlets, and this is the format that continues into the 21st century. Later pamphlets contain additional information regarding the Company, including details of fees, committee members, pensions and gifts administered by the Court, governing body of Stationers' Company School and obituaries; many pamplets contain contemporary handwritten annotations. Pamphlets to 1962 are dated at end of the company year; pamphlets from 1962 are dated from start of company year.
