Papers of Sir Arthur Wynne Morgan Bryant (1899-1985) and Lady Bryant (1874-1958): professional, family and married life, 1877-1938

BRYANT: C - Correspondence of (Sir) Arthur Bryant, and related papers, 1919-84.
[The arrangement of this and the following sections is determined partly by chronology and partly by subject-matter. Broadly speaking, this section covers Bryant's adult life from the end of the First World War to the end of the Second World War, while the last 40 years of his life are covered by section D. In some cases, however, it has proved more convenient to keep an entire group of correspondence (as with his publishers, Collins) together in a single section rather than imposing a break in 1945.]
