Scope and content
Two packets of 14 and 8 standard hard back (180 x ll5mm) notebooks wrapped together in clear plastic, covering the years 1964-1969 and 1970-1973 respectively.
The notebooks cover almost entirely ML's professional life; and include summaries of meetings and interviews, queries to be raised, persons to be contacted, a memory jogger etc. They are a primary source for ML's thoughts during this period.

System of arrangement
ML dated the beginning of most notebooks and these dates have been transferred to the spine of each by MT. ML did not date each entry so the end date in each case will have to be established from diary or other sources to establish whether these records represent a complete chronological set.
