Part of Personal Papers
A substantial collection of correspondence, books and memorabilia, photographs, slides and audio-visual materials, drafts for books, lectures and poems, bequeathed to the College; together with the diaries of Dorothea Richards, which run from 1912 to 1986. The main archival collection is in 62 boxes and 50 notebooks. There is also a notable collection of Chinese scrolls, for which a special scrolarium table was constructed after the bequest came to the Old Library . Although many books and papers were removed and destroyed, or lost in flooding, during the lifetime of the donors, what remains gives a comprehensive representation.
Richards, Ivor Armstrong (1893-1979), literary critic, linguistic philosopher and Fellow of Magdalene College, Cambridge
