We're very pleased to announce that the papers of Sir Stephen Tallents, relating mainly to his role as Secretary of the Empire Marketing Board (EMB), are now available on the ULRLS Archives Catalogue.
The material in this collection covers the Board's origins, some of its activities, including the "Buy British" campaign, the EMB Film Unit and liaison with the Commonwealth Council for Scientific and Industrial Research in Melbourne, Australia, and its administration and break-up. Files include reports, correspondence, notes, memoranda, EMB publications and press cuttings. There are also papers relating to Tallents' book about the EMB, "Empire Experiment", including draft chapters, notes and correspondence. Other material consists of reviews of Tallents' "The Projection of England" (1932) and to his period as Public Relations Officer at the General Post Office (1934 - 1936). There is also material relating to documentary film producer John Grierson, including correspondence, press cuttings, articles and publications and correspondence with Leopold Amery relating to his autobiography "My Political Life" (London 1953) and his links with the EMB.
