History of Art - Visual Resources Centre: Delaisse Collection

This collection consists of largely medieval subject matter in several different visual forms - books, slides, notes. It was bequeathed to the Department by M. J. L Delaisse, Fellow of All Souls College, on his death in 1972.

The collection of glass slides and 35mm slides have not been fully examined. There is also an index; this does not appear directly related to either slide collection but rather served as as record for Delaisse's personal research on medieval illuminations. The index allows the user to search for manuscripts under various criteria: country of production, present location of manuscript, patrons, styles and dated versus non-dated material.
