The Brussels Hoard, by [Christopher Wren], typescript, seven pages of text on seven folios plus a thirty-nine page table on thirty-nine folios, undated but c. 2000, unattributed but there is a manuscript note in pencil in the upper margin that reads "Chr. Wren". The seven-page paper first summarises the history of the Brussels hoard of some 150,000 coins, found in 1907, and research on the hoard before putting forward a proposal for an in-depth study of the portion of the hoard acquired by Albert Baldwin, which consisted in the English element of some 100,000 coins. CRW proposes to catalogue the hoard in full, carry out a die-study and full analysis of the material, compare the hoard to another similar hoard found at Colchester and produce a corpus of the dies. He presents estimated projects in terms of data processing and storage, publication and dissemination, photography and illustration, and general costs (travel, routine expenses on consumables, remuneration). He also identifies potential sources of funding. The project is described as a three-year project, with the aim to publish in time for the centenary of the hoard's discovery. The accompanying table lists the coins from the hoard alphabetically by mint, then moneyer and type, giving the number of specimens for each type of a given moneyer from a given mint.
