Notebooks, diaries, 1926-1938

Component identifier:

Series 11

Content Summary:

There are only 12 items in this Series. The diaries are merely five pocket diaries for 1928, 1932, 1933, 1937, and 1938, in which are recorded appointments, names, addresses, and some notes. The seven notebooks contain lecture notes, the beginnings of a 1926 diary, reminders and references (eg. to books), and possibly notes for speeches. Some are numbered. Some internal evidence suggests that Copland may have begun several of them while in the United States of America, in 1926. The 1926 diary is held in Series 19.

Immediate source of acquisition:

Lady Copland presented the personal papers of Sir Douglas Copland to the National Library in September 1973. Additions to the collection were received from the Copland Family between 1977 and 1981.
