Harry Margary (1913-98) was an engineer with the Royal Naval Scientific Service, and later a private publisher of early maps in facsimile. An obituary appeared in Imago Mundi 51 (1999), pages 7-12.
He was appointed Treasurer of Imago Mundi Ltd in 1971, a Director in 1972, and Secretary as well as Treasurer in 1973.
Though he ceased to be Secretary and Treasurer in 1983, he continued as a Director to give valuable advice behind the scenes. In particular he was a very shrewd businessman and publisher; he was an expert at printing complex line illustrations; he had substantial private means (he lived in a medieval castle); and his home was near to Headley Brothers of Ashford, printers of Imago Mundi from 1974.
These papers were passed on by Brian Dolley, a later Secretary/Treasurer, in 1995.
