This collection comprises papers collected and created by Michael Hurst. They include correspondence and subject files relating to particular clocks and other horological matters, lecture notes, printed material (auction catalogues, articles, newspaper cutting, pamphlets, etc.), and a large series of clock photographs, colour slides and copper plate negatives. The Hurst archive also contains some records created by Percy Webster, Robert Foulkes and Archie Mackay, which were entrusted at some point to Michael or his son Edward. It also contained several separate box files marked “Dr Ward”, which have since been catalogued separately as the Frank Ward archive (WAR).
