Provenance
Acquired from The Christensen Fund, November 1997.
Custodial History
At the time of Isabel Burton's death in 1896, the main part of Richard Burton's surviving
manuscripts and library were deposited at the Central Library, Kensington; in 1955, the
Royal Borough of Kensington gave the library to the Royal Anthropological Institute for
safe-keeping. In 1986, The Christensen Fund acquired the entire library from the R.A.I., and
deposited it at the Huntington Library, until November 1997, when The Christensen Fund
formally gave the manuscripts and 2,500-volume library to the Huntington Library (Accession
1861).
Cataloging Decisions
1. As noted in the acquisition information at the beginning of this finding aid this
material has been owned by Burton, as well as several institutions over the years.
Therefore, the manuscripts contain autograph notes by Burton, as well as autograph
annotations by various catalogers, including pencilled page numbers and the "Kensington
Public Libraries" stamp on many of the pages. The notes by Burton are noted on the folders
and in the finding aid only if substantive.
2. Burton was in the habit of heavily annotating his printed books as well as inserting
all manner of extra material into the books in his library; this material included letters,
clippings, articles and other printed matter. It was decided not to remove any of this
material from the books but include detailed information in the electronic record for each
book. The Burton Library is part of the Rare Books Department; please consult the Huntington
Library Online Catalogue for information about this material and contact the Rare Books
Department for paging information or any questions about this material.
3. A small number of letters were removed from the manuscripts and cataloged in
Correspondence; the original location of these letters were noted on the folders and in the
finding aid.
4. There are references to swords, sword-play and fencing throughout the entire
collection; it was decided that, unless it was a substantive reference, it would not be
noted as a subject on the folders or in the finding aid.

Biographical Note
Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890) was a British explorer, linguist, writer, diplomat and
translator; he explored Africa, the Middle East, South America and Iceland, and translated,
among many other titles,
The Arabian Nights. Burton married
Isabel Arundell (1831-1896), in 1861, and she, thereafter, accompanied Burton on many of his
travels, and became his amanuensis and editor, as well as publishing her own travel volumes
and an autobiography. Burton died of a heart attack on October 19, 1890, and Isabel Burton
died from complications of ovarian cancer on March 22, 1896.
