Boulton and Watt Collection.
In addition to the works relating to Matthew Boulton catalogued above, the Library possesses the valuable collection of relics of Boulton and Watt presented to the City by George Tangye, Esq., J.P., in 1911, and moved in October, 1915, to the Central Libraries where it is stored and exhibited in the two rooms formerly used for the Patent Library. The collection, of which it is hoped to issue a separate catalogue, includes the original working drawings (about 36,000) of the firm of Boulton and Watt, their correspondence and business books (including the very interesting letter books) accumulated since the beginning of the Soho factory in 1762. The autograph letters of many great engineers and other notable men are of special importance.
The collection also includes a large number of documents relating to William Murdock (the inventor of gas lighting and the maker of the first locomotive engine), original working models of engines and other mechanical objects (Watt and Murdock’s rotary engines, Watt's steam indicator, etc.), portraits, medals, coins and tokens minted by the firm, books, pamphlets, magazine articles, newspaper cuttings, etc.
