David Hay Fleming (1849-1931) (msdep113; ms36707-36797)
An independent scholar, and eminent local historian and antiquary, David Hay Fleming's voluminous library, collection of manuscripts, and personal papers, was left to St Andrews on his death, and has subsequently been transferred into the custody of the University Library. The manuscripts are eclectic in nature, ranging from medieval trades books to nineteenth century local and university records, with a strong emphasis on ecclesiastical history. In addition, Hay Fleming's personal papers include many notebooks and other research materials.
The Library also holds his books: see the Hay Fleming Collection in the Rare Books page.
Partial hard-copy lists available.
