In addition to long series of customer account and stock ledgers, our records also include branch records, architectural plans and drawings, staff records, diaries and papers of members of staff, records from the Bank's solicitors which include case files on forgery and prisoners' correspondence, and modern files detailing changing policies, day to day work and relationships with international central banks and governments.
