Abstract

Like many young men of my generation, I was attracted by the internationally renowned Leeds system under R. J. Gordon. I joined the staff there in 1935, three years after Hutchings had left for Rugby. That I learned about him at that time was dependent on hearsay, but I gained the impression that he was a lively character, a go‐ahead librarian and a good singer. When he returned to Leeds in 1943, I was in the RAF and it was not until 1946 that I came to know him personally.

Author

Chris Cook, Jeffrey Weeks, Chris Cook, and Jeffrey Weeks

Subjects
World politics, History
Abstract

From 1970 to 1977 a major project to uncover source material for students of contemporary British history and politics was undertaken at the British Library of Political and Economic Science. Fiananced by the Social Science Research Council, and under the direction of Dr Chris Cook, this project has attempted a unique and systematic operation to locate, and then to make readily available, those archives that provide the indispensable source material for the contemporary historian. This volume (the fifth in the series) provides a guide to the papers of propagandists who were influential in British public life. Included in this volume are the papers of such persons as newspaper editors, leading economists, social reformers, socialist thinkers, trade unionists, industrialists and a variety of theologians and philanthropists. In all, this volume not only completes the findings of the project but opens up the archive sources of a hitherto neglected area of research into contemporary social and political history.
