Sub-sub-fonds D. - Education,

A collection of memoranda, surveys, correspondence and miscellaneous papers relating to education. Papers directly relating to government policy are few in number, being concentrated around the Education Act of 1918, with some relating to the Labour government of 1924. Most of the papers are concerned with adult education. There is a fairly full collection of W.E.A. material, a substantial collection of papers relating to the Joint Advisory Committee of University tutorial classes, and much material on the Institute of Adult Education, Educational Settlements, A.B.C.A. etc. In addition, there are large collections relating to Thomas Jones's work with educational trusts, the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 and the Garton Foundation. Miscellanea and fragmentary material complete this class. Material of similar character may be found scattered throughout the collection. See especially, classes H, J, K, M, P, R, S, U, V and W.
