    THE MARJORIE NICHOLSON PAPERS

    IDENTITY STATEMENTReference: TUC Library Collections - Marjorie Nicholson papersdates of creation: 1935-1997extent: 15mlevel of description: Fonds

    CONTEXTBiographical history:Marjorie Nicholson (1914-1997) was the author of The TUC overseas: the roots of policy. Itwas written after her retirement from the TUC where she had worked in the InternationalDepartment from 1955-1972. She was one of the few women working in policy developmentemployed by the trade union movement. Before joining the TUC she had also worked assecretary at the Fabian Colonial Bureau. Here she was involved in producing pamphlets andmemoranda and editing its monthly journal Venture. Through her work at the Bureau she metand assisted India�s Jawaharlal Nehru and Krishna Menon, Eric Williams from Trinidad,Hugh Springer from Barbados, Siaka Stevens from Sierra Leone and other futureCommonwealth leaders.

    She attended Oxford University in the 1930s and upon graduation taught before becoming anextra-mural organising tutor in contact with Ruskin College. It was on a trip to Nigeria in1949 while working for the Oxford extra-mural department that she became convinced that tohelp develop democratic self governing institutions she had to work full time from within thelabour movement, a decision that clearly had a major impact on her future career. Hercommitment to labour politics was also indicated by her standing (unsuccessfully) as theLabour candidate for Windsor in the first three post war elections.

    Marjorie died in July 1997 while still working on a second volume of the TUC overseas andthe majority of the papers and cuttings in this collection are her research papers for this andthe previous book.

    Custodial history: Marjorie left her research papers to the TUC in her will hoping that her work would becompleted from her notes. Marjorie�s solicitor collected all the papers he could find andpassed these to Michael Walsh, Head of the TUC International Department. In January 1998the TUC transferred the papers in their possession to the TUC Library Collections in theUniversity of North London on permanent loan.

  • CONTENT & STRUCTUREAccruals: No further deposits are expectedArrangement:The Collection can be divided into four sections; subject files, personal papers (PP), presscuttings (PC) and books. The files were mostly related to her research for her books but alsoto her work for other organisations and were arranged by Marjorie by subject and classifiedaccording to the decimal scheme used for the TUC Registry files. A Summary of this can beconsulted in the introduction to the archive list for the TUC Registry Files. A copy of this listis held in the TUC Library Collections but the archive itself is held at the Modern RecordsCentre at Warwick University.

    Although many of the files already had classification numbers and titles, a considerablenumber had not been given a number or title and there were also loose papers that had notbeen filed or had come out of other files. Where there was a file of material obviouslyarranged on a particular subject but no number or title new file numbers were allocatedaccording to the classification system. This new number has been enclosed in square bracketsto indicate that this numbering has been added later and was not in the file as originallyreceived. Where files have been largely or completely constructed from loose papers and theirarrangement is entirely new an asterisk has been placed next to the title to indicate this. Manyloose papers have been added to files where it seems likely that they originated or wouldeventually have been filed by Marjorie.

    Some of the files had documents attached to both the left and right hand side of the file, withthe most recent uppermost and a list of contents attached to the top of each. An indication isgiven in the list where this arrangement exists to enable the order of the file to be understoodwhen in use.

    Within the text descriptions for each file the word �notes� generally may be taken to meanhandwritten notes by Marjorie, although in some cases she will have titled items �noteson...� and this may be typewritten. Where the author of an article or note is someone otherthan Marjorie this will be indicated and if it appears to be by her but is not signed or is notattributed to someone else I have indicated this by using her initials and a question mark.Where there is reference to a published work such as a secondary source or a pamphlet insidethe file its title is in italics. This distinguishes these from unpublished works, articles andessays the titles of which are in inverted commas.

    The personal papers have been allocated reference codes relating to their format as they donot fit readily into the classification scheme used for the rest of the written material.

    The press cuttings are arranged by country and date and have been catalogued and numberedaccording to this original arrangement. There are two sequences of cuttings, a set arranged bycountry (and then by date also ) and a set arranged by date. This set contains only informationabout which countries are not included, this usually corresponds to material which has beenclassified by country or subject in the other sequence.

    When citing any material the reference used should be: TUC Library Collections, Marjorie

    The collection also included a large quantity of books and pamphlets. The pamphlets havebeen included in the subject file sequence where many were already filed. A list of all thebooks deposited is included after the lists of file material and press cuttings. The books mayat some stage be physically stored and fully catalogued within the main TUC librarycollection.

    ACCESS CONDITIONSLegal status: Rules for access are as in the TUC Library Collections Rules (copies available)Physical condition: Condition is generally good although some press cuttings and file material may be fragile dueto age and care should be used when handling. Handwriting on handwritten notes is mainlyeasily legible apart from some rough lecture notes which May need more care.Finding aids: A paper list is held in the library and at the National Register of Archives. Some files containMarjorie�s own detailed contents guides and it is indicated on the list where these exist.There are also Marjorie�s own card files, arranged initially by format and then subdivided bycountry or subject which may be used to aid access to the collection. There are also bindersgiving information on files used in her research (eg in the PRO or the TUC) and also a guideto the press cuttings. This material is located in the section of personal papers under theheading �reference sources�.

    ALLIED MATERIALSAssociated material: Papers from Marjorie�s time at the Fabian Colonial Bureau are at theRhodes House Library in Oxford and the papers relating to her period as a parliamentarycandidate are at Reading Records Office where they were transferred by the NationalMuseum of Labour History.Reference: The TUC overseas: the roots of policy,Marjorie Nicholson, London (1986),Obituary in the Guardian 11/8/97 (copy held by the TUC Library Collections)
