Note that the Ruskin Galleries no longer exists. The Whitehouse Ruskin Collection is now owned by the University of Lancaster's The Ruskin - Library Museum and Research Centre, to which a major grant was awarded by FNL in 2018.
Collection contains seven letters from Dr John Simon to his wife, from Brantwood in 1878 at the time of Ruskin's serious breakdown. There are 49 letters from Ruskin to John and Jane Simon, six letters from Margaret Ruskin to her son, and twelve from Maria La Touche, mother of Rose. There are also financial records, cancelled cheques and half-yearly accounts and 25 drawings, including two by Ruskin one of which is of St Mark's Campanile drawn for reproduction in The Stones of Venice.
