The following material is taken from, or relates to, the Caribbean Artists Movement, otherwise known as CAM.
Level: Fonds
Date: 1965-1995
Extent: 24 boxes (small); 1 box (large)
The collection is the product of extensive research undertaken by Anne Walmsley for the creation of her book 'The Caribbean Artists Movement 1966-1972: A Literary and Cultural History' [ISBN 1873201] published by New Beacon Books in 1992. Contemporary CAM documents and sound recordings were obtained for this research.
However, the material has been supplemented by conducting interviews with members or associates of CAM, by producing new transcripts of existing sound recordings, by photographing members, and by preserving correspondence and administrative papers.
The complete research process has also been documented with the production of detailed notes, indexes, charts and timetables. Full editorial and administrative work prior to publication is included in the material. The collection concludes with documents detailing a celebration of 40 years of the works of Andrew Salkey, designed to coincide with the launch of Anne Walmsley's book in 1992.
