The process of gathering Bishop’s transcripts was simple. At the time of visitations by Diocesan officials transcripts signed as required as “a true and accurate account” were taken to the Diocesan Registry for storage. In Durham these were stored in separate annual sequences for the whole diocese (sometimes divided into separate Durham and Northumberland series within each year), rather than as parish series.<br>This was still the case in 1951 when the collection transferred to the University and was deposited. <br>The Durham University Library was faced with increasing demand from genealogists students and researchers and the main series of transcripts were rearranged alphabetically into each parish and chapelry.<br>The alphabetical assembly of the Howe MSS suggest that pre 1760 transcripts were arranged alphabetically by parish in the Diocesan Registry and that a change of Registry process took place in the intervening years.<br> | The process of gathering Bishop’s transcripts was simple.
