| Description | The files in this series contain material on architects, architectural firms, and other individuals associated with architectural history, including architectural historians. Stamp colour coordinated his research files: red for architects and architectural firms; and blue for themes or subjects. The files in this series were originally stored by Stamp in red folders (they have been re-packaged into archive folders).
Stamp labelled these files by surname, or by the name of the architectural firm. In the interest of clarity, the full name, and known life span has been added to the file title during the cataloguing process. File titles in inverted commas are those originally assigned by Stamp.
The files have been organised alphabetically during the cataloguing process.
The files concern a wide variety of activities under taken by Stamp including scholarship, journalism, campaigning, teaching, broadcasts, and exhibitions. The material is varied in format and includes:
-correspondence
- images
-research notes
-newspaper and journal cuttings
-lecture texts
-planning and publicity documents
-draft publications
-reports
-drawings/sketches
In some instances Stamp's activities and interest in specific architects or architectural firms was wide ranging and extensive. Where this is the case, this has been detailed in the file's admin history. In other cases where his interests were more contained; or there is minimal material; or his outputs are less clear, details have been summarised in the file description. |
