Custodial history

Following de la Mare's departure from the Bodleian Library for King's College London in 1989, many of her papers remained in storage at the Library. The whole of her papers were bequeathed to the Library and in 2002, papers that had been stored at de la Mare's home joined the materials already at the Library.

In 2003 most of the materials relating to de la Mare's research on Bartolomeo Sanvito were temporarily deposited in the British Library for further study by Dr. Laura Nuvoloni for the publication of A.C. de la Mare and L. Nuvoloni, Bartolomeo Sanvito. The Life and Work of a Renaissance Scribe (The Handwriting of the Italian Humanists, II), eds. A.R.A. Hobson, C. de Hamel (Paris: Association internationale de Bibliophilie, 2009). In 2012 these were returned to the Bodleian Library.
