Notes, manuscripts and records collated for Montagu's intended and actual publications

CP/MONT/2. Montagu wrote two volumes of an autobiography; however, only the first volume was published. The second volume of this autobiography can be found here as a draft manuscript and alongside prelimary notes for both volumes of this text. Montagu also visited Europe as both a sympathetic Communist and as a collector of animals for exhibition in The British Museum of Natural History; his records from these excursions can be found here. Some of Montagu's transcripts for works yet to be published are included here and they include manuscript notes for his three lectures on social change.

DESCRIPTION

Preliminary notes for Montagu's autobiography 'The Youngest Son'

CP/IND/MONT/2/1. Preliminary notes for Montagu's autobiography 'The Youngest Son' (published 1970)-1960s? These notes include timelines where core activites are listed by key dates and by subject; some subject headings such as 'FS' representing Film Society are more readily interpreted than others. There is also a loose correlation between timeline headings and the subjects explored on the other pages of notes; the more voluminous undated notes tend to precede the dated notes and timelines.

Preliminary notes for second (unpublished) volume of autobiography, 1960s?

CP/IND/MONT/2/2. Preliminary notes for second (unpublished) volume of autobiography, 1960s? These notes include timelines where films are listed by key dates; there is also a loose correlation between timeline headings and the subjects explored on the other pages of notes; the more voluminous undated notes tend to precede the dated notes and timelines. Included with these notes are some letters requesting information relating to events in which Montagu was involved and quotes on the art of autobiography.

Manuscript draft of second (unpublished) volume of autobiography, 1960s?

CP/IND/MONT/2/3. MS draft of second (unpublished) volume of autobiography, 1960s? This second volume, 'The Cannon's Mouth: Further Autobiographical Chapters' by Ivor Montagu is accompanied by instructions from Montagu's publisher. This manuscript covers the period from purchasing his first marital home in 1927 to the commentary on Clement Attlee in the 1940's.

Manuscript record of memories relating to the Reichstag Counter-Trial

CP/IND/MONT/2/4. Notebook with manuscript memories of the Reichstag Counter-Trial, with transcript of the same, for book of memoirs of Georgi Dimitrov to be published by Bulgarian CP; letters re. the memoirs from Professor R. Avramov, Sofia, 1965.

Transcript memoir of 'Anti-Fascist films of the thirties and forties'

CP/IND/MONT/2/5. This memoir provides an account of how the Film Society was formed and, supported by co-operatives as well as the South Wales miners, how it grew as an organisation where anti-facist films could be viewed despite the apparent disapprobation of the censors.

Papers regarding visit to Italy and Yugoslavia for natural history specimens

CP/IND/MONT/2/6. Whilst the bulk of these papers consist of requests for the passage of Ivor Montagu in the name of the British Museum of Natural History, and related bodies, these items include highly detailed 'Directions for Preparing Small Mammal Skins' issued by the museum itself.

Address book and notes from visit to Soviet Union, 1927

CP/IND/MONT/2/7. Montagu's records of his trip to Europe include used theatre tickets and an address book which features entries for the Kropotkin Museum, the University of Moscow, and several addresses in Moscow.

Book of photographs from visit to Soviet Union, 1927

CP/IND/MONT/2/8. Photos of Russia include images of the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, Red Square, Lenin's Mausoleum and other key sights of Moscow; alongside these photographs of landmarks are pictures of ordinary Russian people.

Correspondence and papers relating to Ivor Montagu's book 'The Traitor Class', 1940

CP/IND/MONT/2/9. Correspondents include D.N. Pritt; George Strauss; Douglas Garman, Lawrence & Wishart. These papers also include drafts of William Rust's criticisms of the book, published in Labour Monthly, with related correspondence; alongside correspondence with Lawrence & Wishart regarding sales and royalties.

Transcript outline and manuscript notes for Montagu's three lectures on Social Change

CP/IND/MONT/2/10. Transcript outline and manuscript notes for Montagu's course of 3 lectures on the Science of Social Change, Marx House Summer School, Wennington, 1940. The first lecture seeks to define Marxism in terms of natural processes of change and the second seeks to define Capitalism and link it to Fascism. The third lecture suggests that the development of a pre-existing class war, into a culture of workers and allies versus the 'main enemy' class, will lead to workers' dominance and the disappearance of the enemy class.
