Scope and Content	Comprises a negative folder with a handwritten index [in John Pendlebury’s handwriting], containing large format negatives of finds from excavations around the Lasithi Plain (all with reference numbers starting “O”). These are negatives of prints in “Excavations in Lasithi, Crete, B. S. A.” photograph album (PEN 4/3/4). The negative of O.12 (item 12) is more complete than the print in PEN 4/3/4. O.81-O.90 are negatives of drawings, and these were not printed in the photograph album (PEN 4/3/4). Negatives for O.14, O.16, O.37, O.39, O.43-46, O.49, O.51-53, O.67-80, O.91-93, O.95-99 are missing. There should have originally been a follow-on set of negatives for O.101 onwards (prints of which are in the photograph album PEN 4/3/4), but this was not found in the archive.
