Correspondence, papers and memoranda relating to Coleg Harlech, providing a massive and detailed record of the establishment of the college and its functioning to the Second World War. Thereafter, the record becomes fragmentary. Separate files on appointments and on the library have been treated as distinct units and undated documents have been retained in their file position. While it centres on adult education, the collection covers a wide range of subjects of a social character. Arranged into: Correspondence etc., 21 March 1923-29 Dec. 1925 (K 1); Correspondence etc., 16 Jan. 1926-31 Dec. 1926 (K 2); Correspondence etc., 3 Jan. 1927-19 Dec. 1927, and a file of letters from Rev.

A collection of material made by Thomas Jones towards his printed Diary, consisting of letters, memoranda, cuttings and journal entries. Many papers are type-written duplicates of letters and memos which may be found in various classes of the collection, but some are original. They are frequently annotated and embellished with printer's directions, evidently for both the unpublished Diaries printed in Switzerland and the selection (post-1930) which was published in A Diary with Letters. They cover a great range of topics, though political events predominate. No index of individuals is provided. Arranged into: Diary, 21 Jan. 1909-19 Dec. 1922 (P 1); Diary, 2 Jan. 1923-31 May 1937 (P 2); Diary, 30 Dec. 1937-29 Dec. 1938 (P 3); Diary, 3 Jan. 1939-16 Oct. 1954 (P 4).

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. Note: The Welsh districts of the W.E.A. are bound in this class, along with the general W.E.A. material, not in class H (Wales). Arranged into: Government policy, 8 Dec. 1902-9 Feb. 1925 (D 1); W.E.A., April 1911-21 Nov. 1947 (D 2); W.E.A. Wales, 3 June 1911-3 Feb. 1948 (D 3); University Tutorial classes, 1909-26 (D 4); Adult Education, 12 Oct. 1919-12 Sept. 1951 (D 5); Educational Settlements, general, May 1939-7 July 1945 (D 6); Educational Settlements, particular, 1921-1 April 1954 (D 7); 1851 Commission, 8 Feb. 1921-5 Dec. 1946 (D 8); 1851 Commission, 10 Feb. 1947-1 Oct. 1954 (D 9); Garton Foundation, 14 May 1921-8 Nov. 1951 (D 10); and Miscellanea, 1892-1945 (D 11).

This class consists of material directly related to Thomas Jones's personal and family life. The largest single item consists of correspondence between Thomas Jones and his wife, some of which is of political interest. There are also letters from his daughter and a little material on his son Elphin. There is, in addition, a mass of miscellaneous material relating to his career, to some turning-points in his life, to his family background and to movements with which he was associated in his early days. This material has been broadly classified in terms of his career up to 1919, when it loses coherence. Family correspondence follows, and the class is completed by a volume of miscellanea, relating to his honours, to newspaper comments upon him, to mementoes which he preserved, and to his death. The early material, which stretches back sometimes a couple of generations and includes family trees, etc., is of historical value and may be usefully collated with class U (Sir Henry Jones collection). Arranged into: Background and Career, 1866-1903 (X 1); Socialism and Suffragettes, 1895-1914 (X 2); Career, 1904-1919 (X 3); Cardiff Principalship, 1917-1919 (X 4); Aberystwyth Principalship, 1919 (X 5); Wife: Eirene T. Jones, 1896-1903 (X 6); Wife: Eirene T. Jones, 1903-1935 (X 7); Wife: Letters of condolence, 1935 (X 8); Daughter: Eirene Lloyd Jones, 1921-1932 (X 9); Daughter: Eirene Lloyd Jones, 1933-1955 (X 10); Son, Elphin Lloyd Jones, 1928-1939 (X 11); Honours, 1901-1955; mementoes, 1928-1950, comments on Thomas Jones, 1920-1952, death of Thomas Jones and Memorial Fund, 1955-1956 (X 12).

Correspondence, Dr Abraham Flexner of the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, U.S.A., and members of the Flexner family with Thomas Jones, together with subsidiary documents. Covering a variety of subjects, Anglo-American and international, academic, social, personal and political. Arranged into: Correspondence, 5 Oct. 1929-15 Dec. 1936 (S 1); Correspondence, 3 Jan. 1937-30 Dec. 1941 (S 2); Correspondence, 25 Jan. 1942-14 July 1955 (S 3).

A collection of letters, papers, press-cuttings and memoranda (private and governmental) relating to foreign affairs. The most coherent sections are those relating to institutions and organised groups - the League of Nations Union, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, and the York Trust Europe Study Group. The remainder of the collection is rather diffuse. There are occasional papers and memoranda on Soviet Russia and China, a collection of confidential material relating to the Hague Conference of 1929 and a larger collection on America and its relationships with Europe, deriving mainly from Thomas Jones' friendship with Professor James T. Shotwell. The collection on Germany, which refers both to the period of Appeasement and to that of hostilities, appears to be a residue. Much other material of a similar character may be found scattered throughout the collection, with particular reference to Germany and the U.S.A. See especially classes A, O, P, Q, S, T, W and Z. Arranged into: Germany, 1 Aug. 1918-Oct. 1939 (E 1); Soviet Russia, 2 Feb. 1918-Oct. 1927, China, 21 Oct. 1927-20 May 1930, and Hague Conference, 13 Feb.-31 Aug. 1929 (E 2); U.S.A., May 1919-17 Dec. 1927 (E 3); U.S.A., 5 Jan. 1928-21 March 1945 (E 4); League of Nations and League of Nations Union, 1917-Dec. 1922 (E 5); League of Nations and League of Nations Union, 23 Jan. 1924-March 1933, British Association for International Understanding, 13 Oct. 1939-12 Dec. 1944, and Federalism and Federal Union, 29 Oct. 1938-21 Nov. 1944 (E 6); Royal Institute of International Affairs, 23 Sept. 1920-1 Oct. 1946 (E 7); York Trust, Europe Study Group, 11 Aug. 1939-13 May 1941 (E 8); and York Trust, Europe Study Group, Memoranda, Jan.-April 1940 (E 9).

This class consists of such correspondence with individuals as Thomas Jones thought worth preserving. Letters from individuals listed here may also be found throughout the collection, under institutional classes, but these 'individual' letters tended to be filed separately, and, apart from the re-classification of some letters which were clearly more 'institutional' than 'personal', the integrity of Thomas Jones's original classification has been preserved. The larger individual collections have been grouped into separate classes of their own (classes Q, R, S, T, U, V). There are 4,673 enumerated documents in this class and 151 correspondents. The material is arranged by correspondent, in alphabetical order. Under each correspondent the order is, where possible, chronological. Arranged into: Aaron - Bickersteth (W 1); Buller - Collins (W 2); Cornford - Davies G. M. Ll. (W 3); Davies, Huws - Davies, Walford (W 4); Dawson - Ellis (W 5); Esher - Evans (W 6); Fisher - Fry (W 7); Garnett - Griffith (W 8); Grigg - Hetherington (W 9); Houghton - Jones, Enoch (W 10); Jones, E. H. - Jones, Herbert (W 11); Jones, Jack - Leys, N. (W 12); Lindsay - Madariaga (W 13); Mallon - Murrell (W 14); Nightingale - Ratcliffe (W 15); Rathbone - Rhys (W 16); Richards - Snowden (W 17); Stevenson - Thomas (W 18); Thompson - Urquhart (W 19); Waddell - Zimmern (W 20).

This class comprises memoranda, papers, correspondence, etc., relating to government policy and social problems, particularly those of an institutional and public character. It is based on files and collections prepared by Thomas Jones himself. The papers fall into a number of categories:. (1). Cabinet Papers. These are a series of manuscript notes, apparently verbatim, of Cabinet Meetings and Conferences of Ministers, taken by Thomas Jones towards the preparation of the Secretary's Notes. These have been bound separately. With them have been bound those jottings, doodles, enigmatic comments, etc., passed across the Cabinet table, which could not be assigned to any particular location in time or place. (2). Collections of material which relate, in somewhat haphazard way, to general economic policy. Cabinet papers and analogous material may be found here also. (3). Collections of material which relate to industrial relations, in a broad sense. The troubles of the coal industry, strikes, including the General Strike, loom large here, and Government papers of a secret nature are numerous. Some Cabinet notes and jottings are bound here in their relevant place. (4). Collections of papers relating to unemployment. These include remedial policies pursued and remedial institutions created by the Government, but also embrace the records of private groups working for amelioration, some of which had access to government material. (5). Collections of papers relating to private groups of different kinds. Some of these, such as the Nuffield College Survey of World War II, had semi-official status and their papers include valuable studies and memoranda. [Note 1]. In a sense this class is a residue (though it forms perhaps the most important single class in the collection). Analogous material, including government memos of various kinds may be found scattered throughout the collection. Particularly rich in such papers are classes A, B, D, E, F, G, P, Q and Z (which also incorporates verbatim records of Cabinet meetings). See also class W, passim. [Note 2]. These papers relate, in the main, to home affairs. At times, they should be read in close conjuction with Volumes 1, 3, 4 and 5 of class B. [Note 3]. Cabinet papers etc. are not indexed for individuals (except where authorship of memos is in question) but a complete list of such papers is provided in each volume's contents. Arranged into: Cabinet: secretary's notes, 6 May 1919-7 Sept. 1921 (C 1); Cabinet: secretary's notes and sundry jottings, 12 Jan. 1922-14 Jan. 1930 (C 2); Economic policy: papers, Dec. 1916-28 Nov 1918 (C 3); Economic policy: papers, 6 June 1919-4 April 1935 (C 4); Industrial relations: papers, 27 May 1909-Oct. 1919 (C 5); Industrial relations: papers, 26 Jan 1920-9 Nov. 1921 (C 6); Industrial relations: papers, 18 Dec. 1922-29 Dec. 1925 (C 7); Industrial relations: papers, Feb. 1926-28 Jan. 1927 (C 8); Industrial relations: papers, 4 April-27 July 1927 (C 9); Industrial relations: papers, 23 June 1927-19 Feb. 1929 (C 10); Unemployment, general: papers, 16 Dec. 1921-22 Feb. 1933 (C 11); Unemployment, Astor Group: papers, 1 Aug. 1922-21 June 1926 (C 12); Unemployment: Industrial Transference Board, 24 Jan.-May 1928, and emigration schemes, Feb. 1928-11 March 1929 (C 13); Unemployment: National Council for Social Service, coalfields distress, 29 Nov. 1928-22 Oct. 1932 (C 14); Unemployment: Unemployed Assistance board, 24 June 1934-9 Dec. 1935 (C 15); Unemployment: Unemployment Assistance Board, 8 Feb. 1936-17 Dec. 1937 (C 16); Unemployment: Unemployment Assistance Board, 20 Jan. 1938-24 Oct. 1945 (C 17); Carnegie Endowment: social history of the War, 10 Nov. 1919-26 Aug. 1930 (C 18); Romney Street Group: papers, 3 April 1917-22 Sept. 1950 (C 19); The 1941 Committee - Common Wealth: papers, 4 Dec. 1940-21 Aug. 1942 (C 20); Nuffield College reconstruction survey: papers, 2 Aug. 1941-31 Dec. 1942 (C 21); Nuffield College reconstruction survey: papers, 27 Jan. 1943-8 July 1945 (C 22).

A collection of government papers, letters, memoranda, cuttings, etc., made by Thomas Jones to illustrate the process of government itself. The hard core is formed by the Instructions of the Cabinet Secretary to the Cabinet Secretariat, with subsidiary documents, which reveal the Secretariat in action. Other material relates to the creation of planning and advisory bodies in central and local government, and there are also some rather slight collections on local government reform, the civil service the Institute of Public Administration. The purpose was to illustrate the actual processes of governmental action. Articles and talks were prepared from the material and a book was proposed. The papers also relate, inevitably, to government policy and its effects. There is, consequently, some overlap with the policy papers in class C and elsewhere in the collection. Cabinet papers and analogous material have not been indexed for individuals (unless the authorship of memos is in question) but a full list of such documents is provided in the volume contents. Arranged into Cabinet: organisation and secretariat, 5 Aug. 1915-10 Jan. 1948 (B 1); Cabinet: secondary studies of the system, 9 Sept. 1929-23 Aug. 1952 (B 2); Committee of Civil Research: papers and correspondence, Feb. 1919-Dec. 1929 (B 3); Economic Advisory Council: papers and correspondence, 25 Nov. 1929-1 Oct. 1935 (B 4); Advisory Bodies: illustrative material, Nov. 1936 (B 5); Civil Service: papers and correspondence, 1929-1942 (B 6); and Institute of Public Administration: papers and correspondence, 5 June 1924-12 Jan. 1945 (B 7).

The collection consists of correspondence, memoranda, papers etc. relating to the celebrated Montgomeryshire family descended from David Davies of Llandinam. His grandson David Davies (later Lord Davies) was prominent in the political and social life of Wales and was the prime founder of the National Memorial Campaign against tuberculosis, which drew Thomas Jones out of academic life. Active in the political and educational life of Wales, he was a benefactor of innumerable causes. Even more celebrated as patrons were his sisters, Gwendoline E. and Margaret S. Davies, the Ladies of Gregynog. This family played a vital role in the history of the Welsh University and of Welsh social service and turned Gregynog Hall into a creative centre of artistic, musical and educational activity. To the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth, its wealth and benevolence have been essential. Thomas Jones's relations with David Davies, Llandinam (who was almost a caricature of the unpredictable magnate) were close but intermittent and sometimes stormy (see class J) but he enjoyed intimate friendship with the Ladies and, in particular, with Miss Gwendoline. The collection abounds in material massively relevant to the social history of Wales and to many facets of social life in Britain. Arranged into: David Davies, Llandinam (Lord Davies), 1910-1944 (R 1); Gwendoline and Margaret Davies, 1914-1927 (R 2); Gwendoline and Margaret Davies, 1928-1932 (R 3); Gwendoline and Margaret Davies, 1933-1935 (R 4); Gwendoline Davies, 1936-1938 (R 5); Gwendoline and Margaret Davies, 1939-1945 (R 6); Gwendoline and Margaret Davies, 1946-1955 (R 7); Greynog Hall, 1919-1954, and Davies charities, 1919-1937 (R 8). Material relating to the Davies family may be found throughout the collection. See in particular classes A, C, D, H, J, K, L, W, X and Z.

Correspondence, memoranda and papers relating to the Gregynog Press established by the Misses Davies of Gregynog. A history of the Press, written by Thomas Jones in 1954, prefaces the collection, which opens with the abortive attempt to buy the Shakespeare Head Press in 1920. The collection, concerned almost entirely with the art and practice of fine printing, includes many letters to and from poets, writers and artists of note, together with specimen sheets, prospectuses, illustration mock-ups, etc. The material thins rapidly after 1936, but the last two volumes, L 12 in particular, contain reminiscences of the early days at Gregynog. Arranged into: Correspondence etc., 16 March 1920-31 Dec. 1925 (L 1); Correspondence etc., 5 Jan. 1926-19 Dec. 1927 (L 2); Correspondence etc., 1 Jan. 1928-30 June 1928 (L 3); Correspondence etc., 1 July 1928-4 Dec. 1929 (L 4); Correspondence etc., 5 Feb. 1930-29 Dec. 1930 (L 5); Correspondence etc., 4 Jan. 1931-18 Dec. 1931 (L 6); Correspondence etc., 1 Jan. 1932-6 June 1933 (L 7); Correspondence etc., 11 July 1933-31 July 1934 (L 8); Correspondence etc., 1 Aug. 1934-21 Dec. 1935 (L 9); Correspondence etc., 1 Jan. 1936-17 Nov. 1938 (L 10); Correspondence etc., 1 April 1939-19 Dec. 1945 (L 11); Correspondence etc., 16 Jan. 1946-5 May 1955 (L 12).

A collection of memoranda and correspondence relating to the Empire and Commonwealth. The collection consists of a number of groups of papers dealing with specific topics, without much inner coherence. Material on imperial trade, some notes on India and papers relating to particular events in the history of Palestine form the core. Most valuable are a series of memoranda on specific topics, notably East Africa, a complete list of which is provided in each volume. Arranged into: Memoranda and correspondence on Imperial Trade, 1925-1930, India, 1925-1943, and Palestine, 1926-1949 (F 1); and Memoranda and correspondence on East Africa, 1918-1930 (F 2).

An extremely valuable collection relating to Ireland. The core of the collection is a series of government papers, including secret memoranda, notes of discussions in Cabinet, records of conferences of ministers and representatives, and analogous material, particularly for the period 1920-1922 and 1925. To these have been added, in two cases, letters written at a later date which throw some light on the Troubles of the 1920s. The collection includes some later press cuttings and correspondence which carry it to 1951. Arranged into: Ireland, 1918-20 (G 1); Ireland, 1921 (G 2); Ireland, 1922 (G 3); Ireland, 1923-4 (G 4); Ireland, 1925-51 (G 5). NB. Further material on Ireland, including manuscript and verbatim records of Cabinet discussions of the period may be found, especially, in classes C (Government and Society) and Z (Diaries). Note on Cabinet material: There are many typescript and manuscript records of Cabinet meetings, jottings made during conferences, etc. (1) Where such material takes the form of memoranda, etc., on specific topics, written by named authors, the names of such authors have been indexed; (2) In all other cases with such material, no index of names has been provided; (3) But in all cases, a complete list of such documents is given in all the contents summary of each volume.

Material left uncatalogued in the list of Dr Thomas Jones Additional Papers prepared in 1992 (Group 2). They comprise mainly press cuttings, assembled and labelled by Dr Thomas Jones. Many of the files also include a small quantity of letters and other papers relating to a theme. They include a substantial quantity of material concerning David Lloyd George. For convenience, the call numbers utilised in this list (no's 7-11) continue those used (no's 1-6) in listing the Dr Thomas Jones Papers donated to the Library by Mrs Mala Murton in April 2003. Arranged into press cuttings, 1909-1948 (7), subject files of press cuttings, 1914-1945 (8), subject files of press cuttings, 1918-1947 (9), papers relating to the cataloguing of the Dr Thomas Jones CH Papers, 1950s (10), and miscellanea, 1945-1954 (11).

This class consists of correspondence and papers relating to the award of Civil List pensions, honours, grants and analogous material. Much similar material may be found scattered throughout the collection, notably in those classes relating to Wales and Welsh institutions. Thomas Jones's standing as adviser to the government in Welsh appointments earned him the nickname of 'Minister for Wales'. In the present class most of the material relates to Civil List pensions, with a little on Honours. See also classes H, J, K, W, and Z. Arranged into: Civil List pensions and grants, 1927-1937 (N 1); and Civil List pensions and grants, 1938-1948, and honours and appointments, 1919-1949 (N 2).

This collection consists of correspondence, memoranda and papers relating to the four Prime Ministers under whom Thomas Jones served. The class is, in a sense, a residue, since much material relating to these Premiers may be found under other classes, notably classes B (Government), C (Government and Society) and the subject classes E, F, G, N, P, Q, S, T, W, Y, together with the printed Diaries in class Z. The richest and most directly relevant papers are those relating to Baldwin, who Thomas Jones enjoyed an intimate friendship with. Much of the material on Lloyd George derives from Thomas Jones's biography of him and from the anecdotes, reminiscences, etc., of third persons commenting on the biography. The material on Bonar Law and MacDonald is skimpy, indeed that on the latter is largely confined to the American visit in 1929. There is more material on MacDonald's governments, however, in the classes listed above, and this could be taken as a general rule, class A serving as a kind of personal supplement to the more institutional material found in other classes. Arranged into: Lloyd George: Lloyd George and Thomas Jones, 1912-1951 (A 1); Lloyd George: general 1884-1945 (A 2); Lloyd George: typescript of Thomas Jones's biography (A 3); Lloyd George: working proof of Thomas Jones's biography (A 4); Bonar Law: general. 1918-1935 (A 5); Baldwin: Stanley Baldwin and Thomas Jones, 1922-1946 (A 6); Baldwin: Mary Webb: Thomas Jones's memoir of Stanley Baldwin (A 7); Baldwin: speeches, 1923-1927 (A 8); Baldwin: speeches, 1928-1929 (A 9); Baldwin: speeches, 1930-1939 (A 10); MacDonald: general, 1929-1937 (A 11); MacDonald: speeches, 1928-1930 (A 12); and MacDonald: American and Canadian speeches, 1929 (A 13).

When Thomas Jones was appointed to the Cabinet Secretariat in 1916, his friend Professor Maurice Powicke urged him to keep a diary, and throughout the years Thomas Jones made a careful record of the events and activities in which he was involved, preserving letters, notes of conversations, descriptions of ministerial conferences and similar material. A selection of such material, from the years after his resignation from the Secretariat, was published in his Diary with Letters. Thomas Jones had grouped the earlier and more secret material into similar form. When he heard that T. E. Lawrence had lost the first draft of the Seven Pillars, Thomas Jones became alarmed for the security of his own papers, and resolved to have them printed. The printer he chose was an old friend, Dr Ernst H. Zellweger, a Swiss whom he had first met at the Berlitz School of Languages in Glasgow when Thomas Jones was at the University. Zellweger, who was the Headmaster of Talhof School, St Gallen, Switzerland, directed a printing establishment at Flawil, and in 1937, several copies of the Diary were printed there. During the War, a copy of the Diary was stored in Switzerland for security. The Diaries, printed in 22 small volumes, cover the period 1899-1937, and form class Z of the collection.

This class consists of what material there is among the papers on Thomas Jones's publications in the broad sense. There is a little interesting early material on his Everyman edition of Mazzini, the typescript of an apparently unfinished work on government, and some correspondence with Hankey on the publication of secret documents and other material relating to A Diary with Letters. In addition, a mass of cuttings, drafts, etc., of ephemeral material has been classified under articles (considered broadly), reviews, broadcasts and talks. Material relating to his book on Lloyd George may be found under Lloyd George in class A. The material in this class in no way represents a complete collection of Thomas Jones's work. Arranged into: Mazzini, 1896-1955 (Y 1); Prime Ministers (draft), Diary with Letters (Y 2); Articles, 1899-1955 (Y 3); Reviews, 1924-1952 (Y 4); Broadcasts, 1934-1955, talks, 1910-1955 (Y 5).

Correspondence between Sir Henry Jones and Thomas Jones, together with a collection made by Thomas Jones of correspondence and other material from a variety of sources towards his edition of Sir Henry Jones's autobiography Old Memories. The collection, in consequence, includes a great variety of correspondence, usually though not invariably in the form of typescript copies, covering, mainly, Welsh university affairs, but also Scottish university and political business and some subjects of wider import. Much of the correspondence is undated. Such letters have been retained in their original file position. Terminal dates for each volume refer to the nearest dated letter. Some assistance in placing correspondents may be derived from Henry Jones, Old Memories, ed. T. Jones, London, 1923, and H. J. W. Hetherington, The Life and Letters of Sir Henry Jones, London, 1925. (It is apparently the material used for this book which passed into the hands of Thomas Jones - see Preface). Arranged into:.
