| Admin/Biog History | In the 1970s Stamp was working at the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), where he was working on the catalogue of the Scott family drawings, including writing the biography of Scott Senior.
Stamp's interest in Scott Senior continued throughout the rest of his career in his role as an academic, journalist and Chairman of the Twentieth Century Society, and he continued to research Scott Senior for a variety of activities including scholarship, journalism, campaigning, teaching and exhibitions. |
| Description | The majority of files in this series were organised in untitled files or as loose material, where possible, the original order has been maintained. Where no order was apparent, the material was arranged and file titles assigned during the cataloguing process.
The files are organised according to the location of buildings, themes, or professional output.
In the interest of clarity, the names of counties, and individual buildings have been added to the file title in the catalogue. For files on multiple buildings, the names of individual buildings, the place name, and county, have been detailed in the file level description.
The files include material concerning Stamp's research into Scott Senior, relating to a variety of activities including scholarship, journalism, campaigning, teaching, and exhibitions. The material is varied in format and includes:
-correspondence
- images
-draft catalogue entries
-research notes
-newspaper cuttings
-lecture texts
-planning and publicity documents
-draft publications
-reports
When the file description states 'letters exchanged by Stamp' and other individuals, this highlights that the file contains copies of letters written by Stamp, and not just letters he received. |
