Childhood diary of Betty Thorpe (later the British agent in World War II code-named “Cynthia”) Betty Thorpe is best known for her role in World War II, serving as a British informant under the pseudonym Cynthia. Prior to her war-related work however, Thorpe spent time enjoying life as a child in America (having been raised in Minnesota) and travelled across Europe in her early teenage years, accounts of which can be seen in a diary that she kept 1921-1924. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/4ee16033-d3bc-4460-8cc0-ffab7829815a/HYDE+2+1+%282+of+2%29.jpg Stories - Keeping and making diaries - Of particular interest is page 1 of her diary, in which Thorpe describes her experience of an Abraham ‘Lincoln Play’ (former president of the US who famously tackled issues facing the nation over the American Civil War) in 1921. Not only does Thorpe’s experience highlight a sort of patriotism she clearly possesses at a young age (being American born, she describes it as ‘sad but very beautiful’), but also foreshadows her important role to come in World War II, with her description of Lincoln having ‘saved a soldier’. Another point to note is Thorpe’s repeated description of the play being ‘beautiful’. Perhaps her use of such repetitive language emphasises Thorpe’s child-like innocence and her young age.

He is best known for his diaries, which provide an intimate view of number 10 Downing Street during the wartime Premiership of Winston Churchill. Colville kept a diary from 1939 to 1957, parts of which have been published (The Fringes of Power:10 Downing Street Diaries 1939-1955). The original diaries are held at the Churchill Archives Centre, Cambridge University, and, with the exception of the final volume, are open to the public. This particular diary covers the period in which Colville was Assistant Private Secretary to Prime Minister Winston Churchill (1943-1945). From reading the diaries, Colville provides an in-depth look at the inner workings of Churchill’s Cabinet but in particular, it does appear that Colville does use intense strong language, which reflects the very intimate nature of Colville’s diaries. ‘Colville recorded in his diary that “Churchill, though he sometimes said nice things about me, never included in his recommendations that we were both Old Harrovians. I concluded that the old school tie counted even more in Labour than in Conservative circles.” This quote reflects significantly the importance of Colville during his tenure as Assistant Private Secretary to Churchill, which is also shown in his diaries, in particular, this extract mentions some very prominent figures like Sir Alan Frederick "Tommy" Lascelles, who would have significant prominence then as well in future long after Churchill. “Still scheming with Tommy Lascelles about his Lord Lieutenancy of London. The PM to whom I spoke about it on Sunday was very amiable but seems to hanker after giving it to Camrose because he says that to give it to L[or]d Cranborne or the D[uke] of Norfolk (Grandfather’s suggestions) would mean gaining no extra allegiance for the Government. However he has given his authority to take soundings and I have agreed a course with Tommy, who will write and support the Cranborne idea and will mention a number of other names, including two suggestions of mine, the D[uke] of Wellington or Lord Trenchard.” The Papers of John Colville, CLVL 1/6 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/b3499b73-e7d2-4326-9ac6-408992906ef5/LWFD+1+%28page+1%2C+without+weight%29+reduced+for+Squarespace.jpg Stories - Keeping and making diaries - Diary of Valentine Lawford, 12th April 1944 Valentine Lawford in 1944 was Private Secretary to the Foreign Secretary, Anthony Eden. Lawford was Secretary to Lord Halifax prior to this and later to Ernest Bevin. In addition, Lawford attended many wartime conferences such as the Yalta Conference and the Quebec Conference. In these meetings he would act as interpreter for Winston Churchill. Lawford was a well-educated man, his specialisation in modern and medieval language meant he was well suited to be an interpreter. Lawford was a British diplomat; his presence and participation in crucial diplomacy during the Second World War make his diary extremely valuable reading. It brings an insider account and understanding of landmark events. However, Lawford was also an artist. This secondary identity is clear to see in this diary entry. Lawford describes an idyllic retreat at Litchfield Manor with his mother and father and other presumably close friends or family members. Over his getaway, Lawford painted and sketched, he describes painting whilst the sun beats down on his work during the day. Within the handwritten diary entry is a beautifully detailed sketch. Lawford does not offer any reference to this sketch but with its placement inside the paragraph it would be plausible to assume the sketch came before the diary entry. It is unclear whether it is an image from his mind or someone he saw in person. The subject of the sketch either has their eyes closed or is looking downwards with relaxed but almost upset expression. Here could be a direct visual insight into Lawford’s day along with the diary entry. Crucially, this entry shows how the middle and upper classes were able to enjoy leisure time even during the war, something most could not dream of during this period. The Papers of Valentine Lawford, LWFD 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/46381fb0-afff-46b0-8fa5-135ca18e1151/HMTN-1-6-cropped.jpg Stories - Keeping and making diaries - Diary of Mary Agnes Hamilton, 12th March 1941 Mary Agnes Hamilton, a Labour MP for Blackburn from 1929-1931, was one of Britain’s earliest female politicians holding a role at the forefront of British politics in Parliament. During World War Two, Hamilton would hold several key positions - at the time of this diary entry working on the Reconstruction Secretariat. Her diary illustrates the centrality of her daily life to the nation’s administration and war effort in devising a ‘consensus policy on general unemployment’ alongside renowned liberal economist John Jewkes. Yet Hamilton’s entry also offers a uniquely personal perspective on the high politics of war. She describes her own, ‘great excitement’ as an observer of Conservative politician Arthur Salter’s shipping mission to Washington. This anticipation would prove substantiated as the event would become crucial in drawing the United States into the construction of a post-war pan-European government. Rather than offering a detached perspective on events, Hamilton’s diary is indicative of the emotions of the political world. She depicts the strain that political life could play on family relations, noting how her university friend Ethel Bullard, ‘hated’ the prospect of the Washington mission and that her departure would be, ‘very hard on her sister’. Such a distinctly intimate perspective of political responsibility illustrates the humanising lens through which diaries allow observers to understand those in otherwise distant positions of power. Notably, Hamilton herself describes how she will miss her long-time friend, ‘very much’. Furthermore, Hamilton ends her entry with a description of overnight bombing. A tangible anxiety and subsequent relief are notable in her depiction of limited damage in London. However, the brevity with which such a, ‘nasty loud night’ is described also illustrates how danger had become an ever-present aspect of civilian life. The nature of Hamilton’s treatment of London bombing can be noted throughout her diary. “Great excitement as Arthur Salter is to go at once to US to look after shipping there; she too. He had long talk with PM on Sunday and they expect to go at the end of next week. Luckily she still has her house in Washington. She says she hates going: it is certainly going to be very hard on her sister. I suppose they may be there for the duration. I shall miss her very much. Indeed the progressive impoverishment of one’s life proceeds in horrible crescendo. I miss Ray more and more: Ethel going will make another gap. Nasty loud night, though few bombs on London. A huge and brilliant moon.” Papers of Mary Anges Hamilton, HMTN 1/6 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/ea73bce0-c8ab-4946-b97d-bc33f5571321/MCHL_1_1_1_156-cropped.jpg Stories - Keeping and making diaries - Diary of Mary Soames, 14 September 1939 This extract has been taken from the diary of Mary Soames, the youngest daughter of Winston Churchill, on the eve of her 17th birthday on September 14th, 1939. Only 11 days prior, Neville Chamberlain was addressing the nation and announcing to millions that Britain was now at war with Germany. She was now facing a global war as a young girl at the start of her life. Mary’s diary provides a unique insight into the effect that the tumultuous political climate was having on young people. The entries are incredibly personal and draw into her thoughts, and emotions. Diaries like hers are necessary for modern audiences to understand and empathise with the human nature of war. As evident in her diary entry, Mary possesses a genuine fear that she ‘may never know another happy day in [her] life’. Her hopelessness is very poignant and contrasting to the Keep Calm and Carry On view that many have of the war effort. She quotes a play by Noel Coward called Cavalcade and draws comfort from the ‘spirit of gallantry and courage that made a strange Heaven out of unbelievable Hell’ which lies in the human soul. It is inspiring to see that despite the world she found herself living in, she still has love, and the hope that she will make it out of this – albeit a changed woman. Mary’s diary not only captures her raw emotions but is the closest one can get to living as a young girl in 1939. “The last day of my 17th year. Tomorrow I shall be SEVENTEEN. I can scarcely believe it! The years have flown – 7 and then 17 – the years between seem like fleeting shadows that passed quickly, happily. I may never live to see another year – I shall never see the world again as I knew it before this bloody war. But if I were never to know another happy day in my life – (and I know that I shall probably do that, because in the human soul there is that ‘spirit of gallantry and courage, that makes strange heaven out of unbelievable hell’) but if I may never know happiness or joy again I shall always have the memory of my first 17 years – a golden, glowing memory of pleasures, loves, friendships and heavenly rapture of living at peace in the beautiful place that is my home.” The Papers of Mary Soames, MCHL 1/1/1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/ab484aab-231d-4cf3-b435-9f61749f8774/ACAD+1+5+%26+6+%281+of+3%29+reduced+for+Squarespace.jpg Stories - Keeping and making diaries Alexander Cadogan’s 1936 diary Reference ACAD 1/5 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/615fba90-1b2a-46c6-8879-cd5032efd5aa/ACAD+1+5+%26+6+%283+of+3%29+reduced+for+Squarespace.jpg Stories - Keeping and making diaries - Make it stand out Spine missing from Alexander Cadogan’s diary for 1937 Reference ACAD 1/6 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/ea938843-9fd7-4f76-a91e-ef68b4cf1f56/ACAD+1+12+%281+of+1%29+reduced+for+Squarespace.jpg Stories - Keeping and making diaries Extract from Alexander Cadogan’s diary, 2 February 1943.

Cadogan would have been an upper-class figure during this post-war period, with close connections with governmental problems and individuals, as demonstrated by previous diaries. This specific dairy will be useful to get an insight into his lifestyle and what he did outside of work and meetings. Throughout the diary, Cadogan plays a game called Canasta, very frequently throughout his life in the 1950s. The game is a card game, like what we know as Rummy today; it became rapidly popular in the United States and other countries in the 1950s. Therefore, indicating what someone of this class would do for fun, in their free time. There is also a large focus on cocktail parties during the 1950s era. This not only highlights the upper-class lifestyle but also is significant when looking into rationing. Due to rationing still occurring during the 1950s, cocktail parties became a better alternative because it required a less extensive menu than a dinner party. Thus, demonstrating how rationing had an impact and how the upper-class adapted to these rules, post-war. Cadogan also has a large focus on the weather throughout his diary and in many other of his diaries. Though this doesn’t feel relevant to the reader, this small detail each day suggests the audience for his diary was only himself. The language implies he didn’t write his diary with the intention of others reading it. Additionally, the weather also creates context for his day, for example it might explain why he had completed certain activities due to weather related problems. As a result, emphasising the significance of his diary when enquiring about life in the 1950s, specifically as a British diplomat.

He kept a diary starting in 1915, handwritten for the first month by his wife Adeline who he refers to as his ‘amanuensis’. This changes in April, with Hankey writing the remainder of the entries, with a few exceptions, possibly because of his frequent separations from Adeline. The handwritten entries are legible with the opening statement using pen in Hankey’s handwriting explaining the diary’s purpose with Adeline’s first entry opposite in a different ink. Looking at the entries Hankey uses this diary to record the minutes of Cabinet meetings; this was because no official minutes were recorded until December 1916, with only cabinet memoranda at this time. Later entries start to become shorter and less detailed, reasons for this could range from prioritising only important points through to simple disinterest, these short entries also have their opposite with occasional pages being just a wall of text. One difficulty with some entries particularly the shorter ones is an implied understanding of terms and people, pointing to this diary being written for a specific audience. For March 26th -27th 1916 loose pages have been inserted showing Hankey did not always have his diary on his person and throughout the diary amendments and corrections have been made in different pens and handwriting showing that Hankey possibly went back through making corrections and additional points. Hankey’s motivations for keeping this diary are unclear, there are no personal entries except minor complaints like a French translator being a distraction and it is not a memoir; he possibly wrote it to reflect on the war years and the difficult and important decisions that needed to be made over that period. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/7c7f882e-d2aa-4b8f-95bd-eb994f04db9d/HNKY+1+1+%282+of+4%29.jpg Stories - Keeping and making diaries First page of Hankey’s Diary, handwritten for the first month by his wife Adeline who he refers to as his ‘amanuensis’ Reference HNKY 1/1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/7445cb3b-c100-4d13-8e3e-5b4a3df80d9d/HNKY+1+1+%284+of+4%29.jpg Stories - Keeping and making diaries Entry for 11th May, example of entries that can be described as a wall of text Reference HNKY 1/1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/7b0b9048-da83-408d-8f5f-73c41ac188e7/School+of+Humanities+and+Social+Sciences+Blue+RGB.png Stories - Keeping and making diaries https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/cff78735-c798-40c9-a10e-67f49c531611/logos+for+diary+conference+3+pt+1.jpg Stories - Keeping and making diaries https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/9c48f1eb-b037-4cd3-b7c1-4bb61b796d8d/logos+for+diary+conference+3+pt+2.jpg Stories - Keeping and making diaries https://www.chuarchivestories.uk/stories/churchill-college-architecture monthly 0.5 2021-04-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/1610617305403-SVYBN4P867TR0MBRZ08F/CCAR-401-001-02a.jpg Stories - The Architecture of Churchill College Poster advertising the exhibition of competitors' designs for Churchill College at RIBA, London (CCAR/401/1/2) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/1610620053644-1MFYO69VPP4ZX2H54KB5/CCAR-401-002-007-pt-2-%28C%29.jpg Stories - The Architecture of Churchill College Overall site layout by Richard Sheppard, Robson & Partners (CCAR/401/2/7) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/1610623869540-9PFGKKTBW9POYSFE8X8A/CCPH-05-04-%25281%2529.jpg Stories - The Architecture of Churchill College The site chosen for Churchill College, as purchased in 1959.

The number, media, and size of drawings varied considerably, ranging from 11 by one firm (Architects’ Co Partnership) to four by several others. Below is a sample of the submissions. The competition marked the start of a new design in higher education buildings across the UK. This was the first Modernist design in Cambridge and some of the architectural firms who were unsuccessful in this competition went on to design many of the new universities founded in the 1960s. Many of the designs feature a lake and nearly all feature a chapel at the front of the College on Storey’s Way. Some designs went further and incorporated a future burial place or mausoleum for Sir Winston Churchill.

One area that is strongly represented in the archive is her engagement with the issue of children in long-stay hospitals and the promotion of more appropriate and sensitive care, whether in hospital or in alternative settings, for instance through her participation in the Council for Children’s Welfare (PEJY 1/3), Exodus (PEJY 1/4), and the National Association for the Welfare of Children in Hospital (PEJY 1/10).

It is in these series, for instance, that papers can be found about her work on the Royal Commission on Population, 1944-9, or the Fisher group and the Ingleby Committee on family social services and children in the criminal justice system, 1955-60.

Particularly striking is her network of female friendships, some of them sustained throughout her life and extending back to school and university, most notably her correspondence with her closest friend, the journalist and writer, Shiela Grant Duff (later known as Shiela Sokolov Grant), whose own papers are preserved at the Bodleian Library in Oxford.

H. Waddington. During the course Edwards studied the genetics of flies, frogs and mice. Following the postgraduate degree, Edwards undertook a PhD in Edinburgh with Alan Beatty (an expert on embryos and fertilisation in mice) as his supervisor. Edwards worked with mouse embryos throughout his PhD and continued working in the “mouse house” afterwards. He submitted his PhD on 'The experimental induction of heteroploidy in the mouse' in 1955. During his time studying mice in Edinburgh Edwards collaborated with Julio Sirlin (visiting Argentinian post-doctoral researcher), Alan Gates (American post-doctoral researcher), and Ruth Fowler (a PhD student at Edinburgh and his future wife).

Laparoscopy involved inserting a camera through the naval to inspect the uterus. Steptoe had been using the laparoscope for sterilisation and diagnosis, and it became an essential tool for collecting eggs for IVF. Edwards and Steptoe began working together in 1968 and their collaboration continued until Steptoe’s death in 1988. Together with Jean Purdy they carried out the essential clinical trials from 1968-1978 which led to the birth of Louise Brown (the first baby born through IVF). Throughout this time Edwards and Purdy travelled between Cambridge and Oldham (where Steptoe was based), though the archive shows that there were attempts to move Steptoe closer to Cambridge.

She was to become an essential part of the team (with Edwards and Steptoe) which developed IVF. Purdy was an embryologist and trained nurse. Purdy travelled between Oldham and Cambridge with Edwards during the clinical trials (1968-1978) which led to the eventual success of IVF. The notebooks from this clinical research phase are full of Purdy’s handwriting. She also went on a research trip to California, to work with Guy Abrahams on follicular fluid (a problem which needed solving for IVF to be successful), and co-authored many articles and books with Edwards. Jean Purdy has often not been given sufficient recognition for her role in the development of IVF. This may be partly due to her untimely death in 1985, but the archive shows that Edwards argued for her to be given credit before and after her death. “She shared all of the scientific work and much of the clinical work, being the first to describe the formation of the human blastocyst in vitro, designing the first aspiration catheter, sharing in the introduction of urinary assays for LH [luteinising hormone] and participating in so many other aspects of the work” Preface by Edwards and Steptoe from 'Implantation of the Human Embryo: proceedings of second Bourn Hall meeting', 1985, EDWS 4/2/2/4 Photograph of Jean Purdy, undated (The Edwards Papers, EDWS 18/7/8) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/1612959650656-SAJHZ9IJVH3ZLNVN2AY8/EDWS+01+001+001+052+7+Jul+1980.jpg Stories - The Archive of Robert Edwards (IVF pioneer) - Letter from Robert Edwards to the Hospital Secretary, Oldham Royal Hospital, requesting the inclusion of names including Jean Purdy’s on two plaques to commemorate the breakthrough discovery in IVF, 7 Jul 1980 Despite Edwards’ protests only one plaque was placed at Kershaw’s Hospital at this time, and the plaque only named Edwards and Steptoe.

The College itself was still under construction so the club had no boathouse of its own but instead shared with the City of Cambridge Rowing Club. This arrangement lasted until 1968 when CCBC moved to a new boathouse, sharing it with Kings College, Selwyn College and The Leys School. This arrangement remains the same today with the Colleges and school sharing facilities and staff. One of the driving forces behind the foundation of CCBC was Churchill College’s first chaplain, Canon Noel Duckworth. He joined the College in 1961 and was co-founder, coach and treasurer to the CCBC from then until his retirement in 1973. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/24d370f0-f4c3-4c16-8275-a951db652a87/CCRF+170+9+%281%29.jpg Stories - The Boat Club and the Canon - Noel Duckworth: the rower Noel Duckworth was educated at Lincoln School before coming up to Jesus College, Cambridge to read History in 1931. As an undergraduate, he soon became involved in rowing, going on to cox the winning Cambridge crews in the annual Cambridge/Oxford Boat Race in 1934-1936. In 1936, aged just 23, he also coxed the Great Britain eight at the Berlin Olympics - the crew came fourth. The College Archive has his Olympic cap. While Noel undoubtedly had a passion for rowing, his studies took him in a different direction and after reading Theology at Ridley Hall, he was ordained in 1936. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/b6a3786c-b202-4c3b-9089-f9eae25691ba/CCRF-145 Stories - The Boat Club and the Canon - Canon Noel Duckworth: at war With the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, Canon Noel Duckworth was appointed Chaplain to the 2nd Battalion, Cambridgeshire Regiment and deployed to Malaya in 1941. In January 1942, the battalion and others were defending Batu Pahat when they were ordered to withdraw to avoid being cut off by the advancing Japanese forces. Canon Duckworth chose to stay behind with the wounded and was captured at Senggarang. As recounted in The Naked Island (London, 1952), Braddon recounts that “[Noel] stayed there and when the Japanese […] would have slaughtered the wounded, this little man flayed them with such a virulent tongue that they were sufficiently disconcerted to refrain. They beat him up very cruelly for days, because they did care for being verbally flayed […] but they did not kill the wounded men he had stayed behind to protect”. In Canon Duckworth: An Extraordinary Life (Cambridge, 2012), Michael Symth (U63) suggests why Canon Duckworth was not himself killed: “When Noel was captured with the wounded soldiers one of the doctors who had also stayed behind attested “I firmly believe that Noel’s fame as a rowing man saved all our lives” because a Japanese officer recognised Noel. This story is given some credence by the fact that a Japanese crew from Tokyo University participated in the 1936 Berlin Olympics, as well as Henley prior to that, so it is likely that Duckworth was known to them”. Later in the war, Canon Duckworth was moved to Changi Gaol before being sent in 1943 to Thailand and Burma to work on the notorious Burma Railway. He was one of the very few who lived to return to Singapore in April 1944. Recognition of his wartime achievements came in 1946 when he was retrospectively mentioned in despatches for “gallant and distinguished service while a prisoner of war” and “in recognition of gallant and distinguished service in Malaya in 1942”.

He lived in the Gold Coast (now Ghana) 1948-1957 where he helped to set up the first university in that country before returning back to the UK to take up the post of Chaplain at Pocklington School, Yorkshire. It was from there that, in 1961, Canon Duckworth joined Churchill College as our first Chaplain. Once back in Cambridge, he soon set about founding the CCBC. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/f87cab53-2a0a-4498-81b6-5c041717af30/CCPH+10%2F12 Stories - The Boat Club and the Canon - Canon Noel Duckworth: the coach By all accounts, Canon Duckworth was neither an archetypal clergyman nor coach but full of enthusiasm, excitement and persistence. The image adjacent shows the Canon coaching the CCBC with his megaphone and stopwatch, which the College Archive also has. The CCBC website has a section on memories of the Canon, from which the following are taken: He was just as happy coaching the fourth boat as well as the first and was almost solely responsible for the tremendous progress that Churchill made in the early years. Bumps and overbumps were almost completely routine and if a Churchill boat was bumped it was a College tragedy. M. Bomford We were a small band but rapidly became a force on the river. The boatclub became a potent symbol of collegiate life even before we had the buildings that make up a college. That was Noel Duckworth’s achievement. H Davies He was capable of almost apoplectic excitement and regularly cycled into the river during races A Ramsay He also had his own unique language, happily captured by What the Coach meant to say (Churchill College Archive, CCRF 151/34) and expanded on the CCBC website. After many happy and successful years at Churchill and on the river, Canon Duckworth retired in 1973. https://www.chuarchivestories.uk/stories/50-years-of-women-at-churchill monthly 0.5 2022-10-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/362ac9ee-b5a6-42a9-a89f-e0ad28f286b2/Honour+to+Agnata+Ramsey%2C+Punch.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/d17cb434-3c70-4028-9249-2ca8d3c8f2cf/CCGB+210+2+British+Federation+of+University+Women.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/979dd3c7-25f6-4bba-9c07-31816cf26777/CCGB+210+2+WSC+response.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/c4261a24-8e7f-4c06-88f8-7fafa0dbeb59/CCGB+102+9.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/7a548cd6-d179-4775-920a-5c0bc7e6a20b/CCGB+190+1+Decision+to+admit.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/b4446be7-5cc7-4f96-9e0e-e5cea84e0f14/Daphne+Osborne.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/2ba0131b-fa59-4309-b3d3-eef1f869b122/2022+matric.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/c2413ba8-05ca-4abb-80f3-74c62b3507f5/Athene+Donald.png https://www.chuarchivestories.uk/stories/broome monthly 0.5 2025-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/756eeb5b-97cc-47c6-9794-92eeb6e35702/36.png Stories -

On only one volume, the mull was not broken on both joints and still played a functional role, reinforcing the attachment of the text block to the boards. It was therefore decided not to remove it because it did not do any harm to leave it in place and would give an extra attachment to the boards. The animal glue was thinned and a new layer of wheat starch paste was applied on the spine and left to dry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/1597154703096-W27MHUEIKYJWKEO7T7UX/With+spine.jpg Stories - One Series, Eight Volumes, Two treatments Cross-section of the treatment on volumes with their original spine still present. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/1597155633249-EK76SXJNCMKVEB9ZVUXA/03%2B03%2BBefore%2Band%2Bafter.jpg Stories - One Series, Eight Volumes, Two treatments Before and after treatment of a volume with Japanese paper. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/1597152999705-5LNOS2A6Y0IY6LS5B4FL/DSC05219.JPG Stories - One Series, Eight Volumes, Two treatments The outer joint is broken and the board is only attached with the inner paper joint making the handling very difficult and increasing the risk of damage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/1597153931531-YOMJMEHQUPYEXCSJ5VU0/20190927_142524.jpg Stories - One Series, Eight Volumes, Two treatments A large piece of Japanese paper was pasted down with wheat starch paste on the spine before applying an extended piece of aerolinen or aerocotton with a mix of wheat starch paste and EVA (1:1). The use of EVA (a pH neutral glue) will make the lining more flexible and the attachment stronger. But as it is less reversible than wheat starch paste, we didn’t apply it directly on the object but with a Japanese paper barrier in between. Aerolinen was applied on volumes without their original spine while we used aerocotton when the spine was still present to reduce the swelling of the different layers as aerocotton is thinner than aerolinen. We strengthened the attachment of the textile by sewing it to the text block along four sections with a linen thread. Even if this involved creating new holes in the cloth hinges, we decided that it was beneficial as it had another advantage: reinforcing the unsewn text block. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/1597154702431-UARAWIYSK0RYAG0K8F2V/Without+spine.jpg Stories - One Series, Eight Volumes, Two treatments Cross-section of the volumes missing their original spine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/1597155668008-BQCT2RD799H5E1HRLEP0/03%2B04%2BBefore%2Band%2Bafter.jpg Stories - One Series, Eight Volumes, Two treatments Before and after treatment of a volume having its spine missing.

The majority of the joints were broken or partially broken. The back was hollowed – the leather was not attached directly on the back of the text block but moved away from it when opening the book thanks to what we call a hollow. Several leather spine were completely lost and the others were damaged especially at the caps and joints. The back of the text block was probably sized with animal glue and lined with brown paper and mull (loose textile material). All three materials were oxidised (acidic and weak) and the mull was broken on both joints except in one case. The thick folios were not sewn but held together only thanks to the sizing and lining on the spine. The boards were originally only attached with the mull, the spine covering and the inner joint making the attachment very weak. Indeed, even if all boards were still attached, some of them were only held by the inner joint (paper). The heavy weight of each of the volumes increased the risk of damage as they were all difficult to handle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/1597153718795-M2INTJDJOAZPNF4ZCHIN/A%3A+Tight+back%3B+B%3A+Hollow+back.+Source%3A+https%3A%2F%2Fcool.culturalheritage.org%2Fbyorg%2Fabbey%2Fan%2Fan15%2Fan15-6%2Fan15-609.html Stories - One Series, Eight Volumes, Two treatments When the spine was completely lost, we decided to change the original properties of the spine as we did not see the benefit to re-create a hollow for several reasons. An original hollow back (B on the image below) is great to reduce tensions on the leather spine and is therefore interesting when the original spine is decorated or fragile, but in this case the original spine was absent. On the other hand, a tight back binding (A on the image below) - where the leather is adhered to the spine - not only reinforces the back of the text block but also consolidates the attachment of the text block to the boards. Therefore, we created tight back bindings with a new strong archival vegetable tanned leather for volumes with the spine missing. For the other category, when the original spine was still present, a new hollow (120 gsm archival paper) was applied on the back, not only to recreate the original structure but also to reduce constraints on the fragile 100 years old leather. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/1597154859797-IKVG2R664T66HVKYD141/DSC04835.JPG Stories - One Series, Eight Volumes, Two treatments Where the spine was damaged, pieces of toned Japanese paper lined on Aerolinen were applied with wheat starch paste. The textile not only reinforced the joints and endcaps but it also gave a nice texture to the surface of the Japanese paper in order to visually blend with the original textured leather. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/1597223451488-K35OBK4G0TZCI6ACFAGQ/Screenshot_20200619-163728.jpg Stories - One Series, Eight Volumes, Two treatments - Finishing Applying toned Japanese paper filling on the damaged leather for protection, consolidation and aesthetics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/1597155751398-F2UNIWZMC6JJFWTUFUS1/Endcap+after+treatment+with+toned+Japanese+paper. Stories - One Series, Eight Volumes, Two treatments - Conclusion It was interesting to divide the whole series in two categories in order to find the most appropriate treatment for all of the bindings while still keeping the same overall aesthetic for the whole series. If the conservation treatment of five of the volumes is now completed, three more volumes need to be treated but the project was put on hold because of the lockdown. The treatment will start over as soon as we are back in the building and when the project ends, our researchers will be pleased, I am sure, to find objects containing so much interesting and valuable information. https://www.chuarchivestories.uk/stories/an-englishman-in-new-york monthly 0.5 2025-06-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/18fc8e06-1cf9-4de2-8e1c-af4d79f9517c/LWFD+4+3+%287+of+9%29.jpg Stories - An Englishman in New York: Valentine Lawford Valentine Lawford's flower paintings sent as Christmas cards to family and friends, 1980s (LWFD 4/3) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/4b8d0076-ee85-4c79-bc1f-c09e8b6f3adb/LWFD+4+3+%288+of+9%29.jpg Stories - An Englishman in New York: Valentine Lawford https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/c675227f-ebdd-4070-9902-943f904c9987/LWFD+4+3+%286+of+9%29.jpg Stories - An Englishman in New York: Valentine Lawford Valentine Lawford’s paintings of flowers sent as Christmas cards to friends and family, 1980s (LWFD 4/3) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/cc542055-ed35-4591-ae95-0a923ce9feff/LWFD+6+1+%283+of+8%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/e46380df-b15c-4d11-a0d0-7d3c24204d0c/LWFD+6+1+%281+of+8%29+small.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/8986e946-6360-4b70-927c-40a8e652a730/LWFD+4+1+%282+of+2%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/d02b95d9-a2c2-4126-941f-9efa8f3f72e8/LWFD+4+1+%281+of+2%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/993ffe73-ec59-45fd-a965-870f7e19bebb/LWFD+%282+of+1%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/859559e7-5faa-49ce-a037-777f526edbfd/LWFD+1+%282+of+4%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/92628cb6-a12f-4e4a-ac6f-024233566609/LWFD+4+3+%283+of+9%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/85776019-94cd-460f-a972-ad76f7605eee/LWFD+6+2+%284%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/81d03184-867e-4e8d-9df1-def89e96414f/LWFD+6+2+%285%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/577a148e-4ce7-47dd-a47a-a9a48cb4d2fd/LWFD+6+1+%2810%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/86ee02fe-ec8e-4e7b-b5fe-a61b9086a132/LWFD+6+2+%283%29+cropped.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/39f82032-82ee-4a57-a370-6036faa7864b/LWFD+6+1+%286+of+8%29+small.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f327a1eafa1f910a1b2baa9/e2051dba-00e4-44d4-a670-dab92a190e39/LWFD+4+3+%289+of+9%29+small.jpg
