From the 1995 catalogue: 'These papers appear to have been deposited around 1984 by the Hill family via former Council member Sylvia Watson. Margaret Hill was born Margaret Keynes, sister of John Mayard Keynes, and came to know Eglantyne Jebb through her mother, who was Secretary of the Charity Organisation Society when Eglantyne was working there in 1906'.
