The Brudenell Collection consists of two draft agreements, one between Gilbert and Sir George Peckham and Sir Thomas Gerrard, 9 June 1582, and the other between Peckham, Gerrard, Sir Edmund Brudenell, Sir William Catesby, William Shelley, Philip Basset, Sir William Stanley, Richard Bingham and Martin Frobisher, June 1582. Each document lays out the rights and obligations of each party to an agreement whereby they would receive vast tracts of land in a new world colony in return for funds to support Gilbert's expedition. The manuscripts are in draft form and bear erasures and amendments. The documents were intended to be placed into the public record of England, but for unknown reasons the final versions of these drafts do not seem to have survived.
