Abstracts of individual letters in the autograph letters collection were written and held alongside the letters. This work was done from the 1960s by volunteers including Nan Taylor. In 2004 Jean Holder completed a 3 year project to list the letters, copy-type the abstracts, and repackage the letters to meet preservation needs. In 2005 Vicky Wylde and Teresa Doherty proof read and imported the entries to the Special Collections Catalogue.
The original card index of all correspondents, including date of letter and volume reference, is available on the microfiche.
A copy of this archive is available on microfilm held at The Women's Library.
Also held at The Women's Library are personal papers of Philippa Strachey (7PHS) and Pernel Strachey (7JPS). Other Collections within Strand 9 which may be of interest include 9/04 Female Education and 9/07 Literary Ladies.
