J. H. Prynne Papers

The collection principally consists of Prynne's literary papers and correspondence, together with documents relating to his career as an academic.

Access to some files is restricted for reasons of confidentiality or in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. The restictions are not noted in this online catalogue, and those planning to consult the collection are strongly advised to contact the Department of Archives and Modern Manuscripts well in advance of their visit to establish the accessibility of the files in which they are interested.

The main part of the papers was acquired from J. H. Prynne in 2016, with further transfers in succeeding years.
