Huntington Library: STG Stowe-Temple-Grenville

The Stowe-Temple-Grenville collection at the Huntington is extensive, about 300,000 documents. It is catalogued on a card index and in a folder, STG Lists. The following table is based on a mix of sources, including my own notes. It is intended to be indicative of the scope of the collection, rather than an accurate description.
