TUC LIBRARY COLLECTIONS AT THE LONDON METROPOLITANUNIVERISTY
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

number etc or PC/name ofcountry and number etc
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:
