Restricted until 2031

This series contains the departmental statistics: the gifts and additions or change in size of the collection figures; the processing statistics for manuscripts and book cataloguing; and the public services or reference statistics, including circulation and reading room attendance numbers. Most of these figures are then included in the annual reports (see Series II). Later statistics can be found in Series I. Office and day files (e.g., Reference statistics, 2005-2009 in Box 330).
