Robinson

Chalfant Robinson was an American educator, author, and curator.

The collection consists mainly of original manuscripts, photostats, and transcripts of German, French, and Italian Medieval and Renaissance legal documents, including papal bulls, passports, wills, deeds, petitions, and manor rolls collected by Robinson. In addition, there are miscellaneous photographs, nineteen slides illustrating medieval paleography, wax seals, and printed matter.

Gift of Chalfant Robinson, 1947 (AM 13457).

The two wax seals were found in the repository in 2016 (AM 2017-48).

For preservation reasons, original analog and digital media may not be read or played back in the reading room. Users may visually inspect physical media but may not remove it from its enclosure. All analog audiovisual media must be digitized to preservation-quality standards prior to use. Audiovisual digitization requests are processed by an approved third-party vendor. Please note, the transfer time required can be as little as several weeks to as long as several months and there may be financial costs associated with the process. Requests should be directed through the Ask Us Form.
