King Edwards Book Plans for Windsor Library Reorganization
King Edward ordered royal librarian Ben Fortescue to create a card index and recatalogue Windsor Castle’s library. He seeks greater privacy and storage for priceless volumes and private archives, including Queen Victoria’s correspondence with ministers and foreign rulers from the reigns. Fortescue, a Harrow and Cambridge alumnus, heads a storied Fortescue lineage with ties to the earls of Fortescue and Clinton.
