Scope and content
Although a large range of material is covered in this series, most of the documents within it were created circa 1950. Those documents from earlier are often pulled together for the purposes of Brickett’s “Summary of Information” concerning the Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer, which was completed in 1952. Series 8 also includes copies of the history prepared by the Corporation of the Seven Wardens, printed in 1950, to which Haultain objected on the basis of its perceived inaccuracies. There are copious notes in this series regarding his objections. The series also includes peripheral material related to Brickett’s history, such as copies of the detailed indices (see B1982-0023/017(09)) she prepared for her rearrangement of the Kipling Ritual documents. The series also includes numerous copies of arranged early correspondence, which assemble together the multiple threads of communication between the early creators of the Kipling Ritual. Accession B2009-0029 contains a single file of a remembrance essay by Robert J. Marshall concerning his early involvement with the Iron Ring ceremony.
