For the main archives of Andrew Salkey please see British Library: Manuscript Collections (Deposit Number: 10310):
Summary: "the archives comprises of numerous working manuscripts and typescripts for many published and unpublished novels, short stories and volumes of poetry, along with numerous radio scripts and anthologies of Carribean writers edited by Salkey. There is also an extensive correspondence, including over 900 pages of letters from the Barbadian author Austin Clarke, and substantial correspondence from Barbadian poet Edward Kamau Braithwaite, Guyanese novelist Jan Carew, Trinidadian author Sam Selvon, Jamaican novelist John Hearne, Marcus Garvey's widow Amy Jacques, CLR James, and George Lamming. The collection also includes Salkey's diaries for the period 1972-1995, along with various ephemeral printed material (including magazines, posters and handbills for events).
This is a substantial archive in terms of volume, and is remarkably complete. It is a significant literary collection but is perhaps equally strong in the fields of political and social history, providing as it does a varied and articulate 'cross sectional' insight into the Black struggle for political, social, cultural and intellectual recognition in the latter half of the 20th century." [this summary was kindly provided by the Curator of Modern Literary Manuscripts, British Library. January 2008]
Compiled in compliance with General International Standard Archival Description, ISAD(G), second edition, 2000; National Council on Archives Rules for the Construction of Personal, Place and Corporate Names, 1997.
