Lloyd George Papers

The letters concern mainly the use of the Lloyd George Papers (originally in the Beaverbrook Library, later transferred to the custody of the Record Office at the House of Lords) by researchers, the press and the media, and related questions of copyright. Some of the letters relate to various events organised to commemorate the name of D. Lloyd George. The file includes letters from Richard Dimbleby, 1949, Sir Dingle Foot, 1952, Jan Smuts, 1948, and Leonard Stein, 1951.

Dimbleby, Richard, 1913-1965

Proposed Lloyd George Memorial College: letters offering support

Grigg, Maurice Hankey, Augustus John, Harold J. Laski, Gilbert Murray, B. Seebohm Rowntree, Sir Archibald Sinclair (Lord Thurso), and Jan Smuts. All the writers agree to support the proposal. Some of the letter writers expand on their reasons for supporting the proposal and reflect on Lloyd George's life, career and contribution.
