Meyer Fortes: Notebooks, correspondence and papers.

Meyer Fortes: Notebooks, correspondence and papers.

Catalogued material (except for noted restricted correspondence) is available for consultation, but readers are advised that copyright remaining in the writings of Meyer Fortes is the property of his daughter, whose permission is necessary for publication.

Meyer Fortes bequeathed his extensive archive to Cambridge University Library in 1983. Some 175 additional letters, apparently separated from the main body after Professor Fortes' death, were presented by Dr. Drucker-Brown in November 2001.

This is an interim catalogue providing a summary outline of the collection prior to full cataloguing.

A catalogue of the collection can be found on ArchiveSearch.

Papers accumulated by Meyer Fortes are also held at Cambridge University Library (Add. MS 9359).
