F A Crisp and H Clench were great collectors of original historical documents and they left a number of these to the Society of Genealogists in the 1920s and 1930s. Amongst them was a series of apprenticeship indentures dating from the late 17th century onwards. These have now been scanned, indexed and made available to members on SoG Data Online.
