Excerpt
The Custodial History Note described changes of ownership or custody of the material being described, between the time it left the possession of the creator and when it was acquired by the repository.

This note is only used when material came to Distinctive Collections from an internal MIT source. It is rarely used — most transfer information is recorded in the Immediate Source of Acquisition note

Examples
Papers given to Library in 1930 and later transferred to Distinctive Collections.
Records given to the MIT Museum and transferred to Distinctive Collections in 2015.
