- User Conditions:
- Custodial History:
- Documents have been migrated to the modern Court House building from a variety of sources, all since 1990: (1) records generated by cases heard in the present court; (2) records from earlier courts; (3) records by government ministries and departments; (4) records rescued from destruction, primarily by members of Anguilla's historical society. The earlier custodial history of these documents is not known.
- Source of Acquisition:
- Received from Mr Jan Liebaers, August 2008 (EAP596/1).
- Arrangement:
