. . . "From Courtaulds Design Library, group F4. The Courtaulds Design Library principally contained records from the Courtaulds\u2019 factories at Halstead and Bocking, Essex, and Halifax, and the large collection that came into Courtaulds\u2019 possession through its acquisition of Morton Sundour and Edinburgh Weavers in 1963. The library was used by designers within Courtaulds and was also available for the use of Courtaulds\u2019 customers. Following the acquisition of Courtaulds by the international corporation Sara Lee and the subsequent change in the business it was decided that the V&A would be the most appropriate location for the collection to enable it to be appreciated and used more fully. The Library was donated to the V&A by Sara Lee Courtaulds in 2001.\n\nLabel: \"MUSEUM & LIBRARY / MORTON SUNDOUR FABRICS LTD., CARLISLE / NUMBER 4106/ CASE 18 SHELF 1 / DATE AND ORIGIN OF ACQUISITION: / 1890/1900 DARVEL / DESCRIPTION:\u201D\nLabel: \"Des.
