It is thought that the original Tweddell Collection, created by William Lillie, Chief librarian of Middlesbrough Library from 1926, was broken up during changes in local government during 1973/74. As a result documents were lodged with the new ‘Cleveland Archives’ – now called Teesside Archives – and books retained in Middlesbrough Central Local History Library. This is the current situation and is reflected in this catalogue of the Collection.
Mixed letters and numbers in the first column signify copies in Middlesbrough library local history collection. All other copies U/TW can be found in Teesside Archives.
