Outward Correspondence files, 1968-89

Containers:

Box 84-89

Component identifier:

Series 8

Content Summary:

This series contains three sequences of Hazlehurst's outward correspondence files: 1968-1972 (Box 84-86); 1979-1985 (Box 86-87) and 1983-1989 (Box 88-89). 6 boxes.

The first sequence includes correspondence of a general nature as well as that relating to particular research projects, such as Hazlehurst's proposed biography on David Lloyd George. From 1969, much of the correspondence relates to the 'Political records project', a survey of the papers of twentieth century British cabinet ministers. This correspondence is thus interspersed with many file notes on the papers of these British cabinet ministers.

From 1979-1985, Hazlehurst retained carbon copies of his correspondence and notes. The third sequence, from 1983-89, contains correspondence regarding Hazelhurst's research for the biography of Sir Gordon Chalk; requests for articles; drafts of two book reviews and some correspondence regarding the National Council on AIDS (1988).

Immediate source of acquisition:

The collection was donated to the Library under the Taxation for the Arts Scheme in 1987-1988. A second addition was donated under this scheme in February 1992.
