Datec.1915 - 1960
Scope and ContentThis group comprises notes for and drafts of speeches given by Gordon-Taylor mainly in the post-war period, as well as a set of lecture illustrations. The notes are handwritten in pencil or ink and are mainly incomplete and disparate. Drafts of speeches may be handwritten or typed, again many are incomplete. The group also includes notebooks, undated, one of which may date from WWI; another may date from Gordon-Taylor’s surgical training in the early 20th century.
Research notes for speeches were not found to be necessarily with the typed drafts and it is unclear to what speeches some relate to. Where possible the notes and drafts have been associated with known speeches, but in many cases, because of the fragmented nature of the material, this has not been possible. The group has been arranged by the location where the speech was given, whether in the UK or abroad, and where this is not known by subject.
