Historical Background

The Secretary was technically responsible for the organisation of loan exibition until the creatiobn of the post of Exhibitions Secretary in 1970. Even so, by the mid-1960s the majority of the burden for this task fell upon the shoulders of the Librarian, Sidney Hutchison.

Content Description

Proposals for loan exhibitions from both internal and external sources and of varying seriousness of intent. Also records resulting from preparations for exhibitions that ultimately did not come to fruition.

Arrangement

These records were discovered with other Secretary's Office files in Burlington House basement in 1997. They were stored together and so remain as a series in the catalogue.

Associated Material

As with other exhibition records material of a similar nature can be found in the exhibition office records post-1970.
