GB 2904 JLR
Ephemeral material collected by John La Rose
Level: Fonds
Date: 1952-1996
Extent: 21 boxes (small); 3 boxes (large)
This fonds consists of some of the material collected by John La Rose between the 1950s and the 1980s. Selected items from the 1990s are also included. The material chosen here covers political and cultural trends during the period, especially in the UK and Caribbean.
The JLR fonds is made up of published material, correspondence, and publicity material. The catalogue structure corresponds to the boxes in which the material was collected over the years. The 8 sub-fonds (UK Community Relations, UK Culture, UK Society and Politics, Africa, Caribbean, Cuba, East - covering the Middle East, Asia and Australasia - and North America) provide a starting point for research. The material has been catalogued by bundle, file, or by individual publication.
Within each of the Caribbean, Africa, East, and North America sub-fonds, the material is organised into series corresponding to countries. Within the UK and Cuba sub-fonds, material is organised into series corresponding to the type and location of the producers of the records. Within each sub-fonds there are also series for journals and/or newspapers, apart from the UK and Caribbean sub-fonds, whose journals and newspapers are located in collections GB 2904 JOU and GB 2904 NEW respectively.
All runs of journals and/or newspapers are currently incomplete, and the GPI Archive only holds one issue of some publications; please check the extent field. Often an organisation's records will be catalogued in GB 2904 JLR, for example publicity and organisational material produced by the West Indian Students Union, while any journals or newsletters, in this case the 'WISU Newsletter', is catalogued in GB 2904 JOU. Researchers are advised to note the GPI Archive's other collections, including the Caribbean Artists Movement (GB 2904 CAM) and the New Cross Massacre Action Committee GB (2904 NCM), in both of which John La Rose was an active participant.
