With a rich history of over four centuries behind it, St. Alban’s English College in Valladolid possesses bibliographical and documentary sources of an exceptional wealth. The present paper reports on the constitution of a team of researchers in the University of Valladolid permanently devoted to the study of such documentary holdings. Extensive reference is made, more particularly, to the preparation of a critical edition of one of the manuscripts kept in the College Archive: ‘A Sketch of the Ancient British History . . . ’, an ecclesiastical history of early Britain written by former College rector Philip Mark Perry (1720–1774).
