Jardine Matheson Archive

Title Legal documents
Reference MS JM/F
Covering Dates 1813–1940 (with one undated modern transcript)
Extent and Medium 22 boxes
Content and context

This series contains a wide range of legal documents relating to Jardine, Matheson & Co. and related companies and individuals.

The series consisted originally of fourteen boxes of miscellaneous, partially-listed material. Additional documents from the uncatalogued section of the archive were added during cataloguing.

In arranging the records, effort has been made wherever possible to maintain the original order and grouping of the documents. As a result, there is some degree of overlap between the contents of the series.

Further information

Legal documents in Chinese can by found in H2.
