The papers have been arranged in the series described in the catalogue. However, ACAD 3/17-3/24 consists of bundles of undated letters from Lady Theo to Cadogan. Lady Theo appears to have tried to date some of the letters at a much later date, resulting in considerable confusion. The bundles have been left exactly as she arranged them

Access and Use

The collection is open for consultation by researchers using Churchill Archives Centre, Churchill College, Cambridge. Individual closures of files are indicated in the catalogue. Churchill Archives Centre is open from Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm. A prior appointment and two forms of identification are required.
