Administrative HistoryHunting Technical Services Ltd were established in 1956 as part of the larger Hunting group of businesses (originally founded in 1874 by Charles Hunting), to provide scientific and consulting services. It is now Hunting PLC.
ProvenanceThe African and Middle-East section of the Hunting's Library was being downsized and was offered to the Society in the 2000s. The maps and other published material were added to the Library collections. This material which was more difficult to deal with as it comprised unpublished reports and the copyright of them was unclear. David Hunting from Hunting PLC gave permission for the reports to be made publicly available, see email on file in accession folder.
