The Custodial History Note described changes of ownership or custody of the material being described, between the time it left the possession of the creator and when it was acquired by the repository.
This note is only used when material came to Distinctive Collections from an internal MIT source. It is rarely used — most transfer information is recorded in theImmediate Source of Acquisition note.
