Scope and content
Subseries includes drafts of papers and books in chronological order, unpublished material, notes and notebooks on various political and historical subjects, including Wilson’s school notebooks.
In Wilson’s book “The Break-up of Sri Lanka” (1988), he intended to publish his correspondence and documents relating to the Presidential Commission on Development Councils as appendices. Therefore, the correspondence in Series 4, Sri Lanka Negotiations, is reproduced here in the Appendices files where Wilson (or his secretary) has typed hand-written letters, and made his own contextual notes and observations at the end of each letter. These Appendices were not published in the final book. Sometimes only the typed copy of the letter here exists, and not the original.
