Within the King Collection are two series, Heraldic Miscellanies (27 volumes, of which numbers 2 and 3 are bound together and numbers 9 and 10 are missing) and the Talbot Papers (26 vols). Other volumes in the collection are not arranged in series. Heraldic Miscellanies vols 9 and 10 were given to the College by King in 1850, as King notes in a catalogue of his own collections, because they contained much information from the Chapter Books affecting the private affairs of the College.

By appointment with the archivist. A letter of introduction and an item of photographic ID are required and a daily research fee of £10 is payable.

Permission of the Chapter of the College of Arms is required.
