description The 'main files' are a series of four folders which were kept by Deputy Secretary, J.R. Bracken. These files track the major milestones of the design, build and funding of the Philips Library in chronological order. They include correspondence, meeting minutes, notes, reports and schedules. Correspondents include Denys Lasdun & Partners (architects), Adams, Holden & Pearson (architects), University of London Court Clerk Department, University of London University Grants Committee (UGC), the Rockefeller Foundation and the Director of SOAS. Topics covered in the folder cross-over with material which was stored separately.
scb_arrangement Although much of the subject matter links to material beyond this series of 'main files', they have been retained in original order here to demonstrate how files were kept by SOAS. They are arranged in chronological order.
