Accession B1975-0014 - Woodhouse 1975 accession

1.57 of textual records (13 boxes)

The papers in this accession reflect their handling by A.S.P. Woodhouse's executors (Robin Harris and James Robertson McGillivray) and later by members of the Department of English at University College. His executors turned over the Woodhouse papers to the University College Department of English after Woodhouse's death; subsequently, a set of notebooks was given to Professor F.E.L. Priestly, and another set, dealing with 19th Century thought, was given to Professor J.M. Robson of Victoria College. Use of these notebooks enabled Priestly and Robson to continue research on various subjects. H.R. McCallum, Department Chairman in 1975, later pulled together much of the material that had been distributed and gave these papers to the Archives in July 1975.

Previous manipulation of the Woodhouse papers therefore makes discernment of original order virtually impossible. This finding aid bases arrangement and description on the principle provenance and follows as closely as possible the form and function of the papers.

Records in this accession consist of notebooks, manuscripts and typescripts, annotated offprints and articles, annotated books, some correspondence, a newspaper clipping about Woodhouse, and magazine articles written about Woodhouse.
