Scope and content
When giving public addresses, Dr. Till often made liberal use of slides, overheads and, latterly, “powerpoint”. Some of his presentations consist solely of slides or the paper originals of overheads (the acetate overheads have, for the most part, been disposed of), which served as illustrations for his remarks. Where identified, these have been retained.
The series begins with a number of folders containing a mixture of correspondence about, notes and background information for, and occasional press coverage of, addresses for the years 1965-1982. These are followed by files for approximately 90 addresses (and a few interviews) arranged chronologically, with accompanying correspondence and drafts. Between 1986 and 1994 many of these consist predominantly of slides. While most addresses were given at conferences, seminars, and workshops dealing with various aspects of his research, Dr. Till also gave freely of his time to speak to the broader public. Included is his address to the Royal Society of London, into which he was inducted in 2000.
