| Title | Huntly Collection |
| Description | This comprises the family and estate papers of the Gordon family, Marquesses of Huntly, of Orton Hall, 1799-1946. The collection is an artificial one in that the records have been received from a variety of different sources, including Huntingdon and Peterborough County Council, Orton Longueville parish church, and a few solicitors.
The most popular items are the personal diaries of Lady Maria Antoinetta Huntly (1821-1893), who was one of the major contributors to the study of botany in Huntingdonshire, systematically collecting flowers and plants from throughout the British Isles. All through her life she kept copious notes on the plants she collected, and kept a series of detailed diaries describing her travels 1844-1893. |
