Handlist of the Susser Archive

I made this handlist in May, 1997, before Rabbi Susser's papers were handed to Mr Charles Tucker,
archivist of the London Beth Din, for safekeeping. Please contact the Susser Archive if you wish to see any of the items.
They will be scanned and added to this site where it is possible.
