| Content and context |
|
This series comprises correspondence, off-prints, typescript speeches, and newspaper clippings. The papers are closely connected with those in the correspondence sequence, and occasionally a letter is filed by subject and a copy placed under the author's name. The files are also linked with the series of lectures, but are listed here because NGA filed them under subject headings in this sequence.
Titles in inverted commas are taken from NGA's file labels.
This series was transferred in two stages; the first in 1995 and the second in 2001. Both are now combined into one sequence.
This series was filed in one alphabetical sequence in NGA's filing cabinets. Hanging dividers have been removed, but labels have been placed within the file. Some pages were removed by NGA before the files were transferred to King's College.
