6 PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A very large number of people helped in the preparation of this volume. Whilst it would be impossible to thank all by name, certain special acknowledgements must be made. An extremely deep debt of gratitude is due to the many scores of archivists and librarians who responded so readily and so helpfully to the letters and questionnaires sent out during the compilation of this volume. The compilation of the first two volumes in the Sources in European Political History series has taken the compilers to archive centres in many parts of Europe. Particular thanks must be given to our colleagues in Vienna, namely Dr Elizabeth Springer of the Haus-Hof- und Staatsarchiv; Dr Elizabeth Klamper and Dr Siegwald Ganglmeier; Dr Eva Irblich and Dr Gerhard Renner of the Austrian National Library; the staff of the Verein fiir Geschichte der Arbeiterbewegung; and Dr Mikoletzky of the Allgemeines Verwaltungsarchiv. At the Bundesarchiv, Koblenz, the project's thanks are due to the Director and his staff, in particular to Dr Werner Krause, who gave most generously of his time and made available unpublished material on the holdings of the archive. For her work on the project in Brussels, grateful thanks go to Ms Marie Bittlestone. The staff of the League of Nations Archive in Geneva gave generously of their time. Professor Paul Preston gave very useful information on archives in Spain. In London, particular thanks are due to the staff of the German Historical Institute and the Sikorski Institute and Polish Museum. Among personal friends and colleagues who have given practical assistance thanks are due to Chris Lee, Angela Raspin, Julia Sheppard and Richard Storey. A very major debt is due to the Polytechnic of North London for facilitating the production of this volume. The initial research assistance was made available by the allocation of funds by the Polytechnic. The granting of a one-year secondment from my normal duties during the academic year by the Director of the Polytechnic made the early work on this volume possible. I must record my thanks for the support of the subsequent Director, Leslie Wagner, and the Dean, Sandra Ashman, for their help seeing this volume through to completion. A wide variety of sources, published and unpublished, have been used in the compilation of this volume. A more detailed listing is given in the Select Bibliographical Note (Appendix I). A very special mention must be made, however, of the absolutely invaluable guide for Germany produced by Professor Mommsen. No words of praise can do justice to the value of this monumental work. Although this volume includes known additions and changes to that of Professor Mommsen, its debt to that pioneering volume remains very high. Similarly, the guide on the papers of French politicians has been invaluable. The paucity of existing published guides to European archives only serves to reemphasise the debt owed to the scores of archivists who so readily cooperated in the production of this volume. Finally, three remaining acknowledgements are needed. In London, my thanks are due to my publishing editor Tim Farmiloe for his help and support in seeing this volume through to publication. In Amsterdam, where the original idea for this series was born, Vll

7 my debt is a wider one. It is to all those friends and colleagues who made successive visits to that delightful city so pleasant. And, to my co-authors Tim Kirk and Bob Moore, my very deep thanks for the many hours of labour, as well as good company, that went into this volume. Polytechnic of North London CHRIS COOK Vlll

8 INTRODUCTION This is the second volume in the planned series of Sources in European Political History. The first volume aimed to provide an outline guide to the surviving personal papers of over 1000 individuals active in the socialist, labour, radical and revolutionary movements in Europe. 1 The period covered was broadly from 1870 through to the end of the Second World War in This second volume aims to provide a similar guide to the private papers of a further 1000 individuals active in European diplomacy and international affairs over a similar chronological period. The scope of the volume embraces not only statesmen and ministers, but diplomats, ambassadors and the many others involved in the formulation and implementation of foreign policy. It is hoped that within this volume the historian and researcher will find material on the major themes of European diplomatic history and international relations. This volume, however, is concerned only with private papers. The official and governmental archives for the diplomatic historian are the subject of the invaluable guide produced by D. H. Thomas and L. Case. 2 There are, of course, enormous difficulties in attempting to assemble information on private papers. The compilers of this volume are only too aware of the limitations of producing a guide such as this. Most entries were compiled from questionnaires sent to record offices. The entries in this volume in no way imply that the papers cited are necessarily available. In all cases research students should write to the institution concerned to check availability and access. In many cases, record repositories may be able to provide the researcher with unpublished finding aids and fuller details of collections of papers in addition to the necessarily often sparse information outlined in this volume. There are very major gaps in the private papers available for the diplomatic historian during this period. The turbulent history of Europe during the last century, with such events as the Russian Revolution and the Nazi dictatorship, have meant that papers have either not been kept or have been lost. Police raids, prosecution, exile and banishment have led to the loss of invaluable material for the historian. This problem is particularly acute, not just for those countries suffering fascist dictatorship, but also for the countries of Eastern Europe. This gap is partly compensated for by the rich holdings of Russian and Eastern European material in archive centres both in Western Europe and North America. Particular mention must be made of the holdings in North America at both the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace at Stanford University, California, and also at Columbia University Library. Finally, the compilers would appeal to historians and archivists to inform them of any known additions and changes to the information cited here for use in future editions. Correspondence should be addressed to Dr Chris Cook, cjo International Archives Survey, Polytechnic of North London, Prince of Wales Road, Kentish Town, London NW5 3LB. IX
