Papers of George Gömöri

Correspondence and related items, chiefly consisting of letters to Gömöri on literary and academic topics.

The collection contains personal correspondence. The provisions of the Data Protection Act (1998) apply to access.

The larger part of the papers was donated to Cambridge University Library by George Gömöri in September 2005. A further tranche was acquired from Gömöri by purchase in December 2008, and supplemented by subsequent smaller donations. Items from the 2005 accession have CUL ownership stamps in red ink, items from the 2008 and later accessions have CUL ownership stamps in black ink. In May 2012 the University Library purchased a further tranche of papers, chiefly correspondence with Clive Wilmer, Tony Connor, Jon Stallworthy et al.

A catalogue of the collection can be found on ArchiveSearch.

The Polish National Library in Warsaw holds letters to Gömöri from Jerzy Giedroyc (Editor of the emigre journal Kultura) and Zbigniew Herbert.
