Catalogue of archival / unpublished items completed!

Writing about web page http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/al/research/collect/elt_archive/catalogue/the_warwick_elt_archive_catalogue_2nd_edition_part_2.pdf

A catalogue of some of the archival / unpublished items in the Warwick ELT Archive has now been completed, and has been  uploaded to the web-page above. Dario Bodegas and Sheila Verrier have worked hard on this, and we've been greatly helped by a research grant from the British Council. Thanks, Dario, Sheila and the BC! 

Here are the Preface of this catalogue, and a summary of the contents:

Preface

In summer 2009 Dario Bodegas, who had just completed studies for his MA with us at the time, kindly agreed to begin sorting, storing in box files, cataloguing and shelving the genuinely ‘archival’ items – typescripts, newspaper cuttings, pamphlets, etc. – that the Warwick ELT Archive has acquired (see Part 1 of this catalogue for a list of books on shelves, available at: www.warwick.ac.uk/go/elt_archive/catalogue). Subsequently, Sheila Verrier built on and embellished Dario’s work, this being made possible by a British Council research grant (Jan.-Dec. 2009). By December 2009, when funding ceased, the following twenty-four box files of papers – perhaps one third of our current total collection of archival / unpublished items – had been catalogued in sufficient detail to be included here. When finances allow, we will embark on a phase two of cataloguing the archival / unpublished items in our collection and will then publish an updated version of this catalogue.
