Papers, 1886-1968, of the Lloyd George family. The collection is comprised mainly of correspondence, the bulk of which is addressed to David Lloyd George, mostly from contemporary political figures and from members of his family. The political correspondence relates largely to Welsh affairs, including Disestablishment, the Welsh Church Commission, education and the investiture of the Prince of Wales in 1911, as well as to the Irish Question and the First World War. David Lloyd George's family correspondence includes letters, [c. 1886]-1941, between David Lloyd George and his wife Margaret, from David Lloyd George to his uncle Richard Lloyd, 1890-1916, and to David Lloyd George from his brother William George, 1891-1915; other family correspondence includes letters to Margaret Lloyd George, 1893-1939, from various correspondents, and from Margaret Lloyd George mainly to her daughter Olwen Carey-Evans, 1917-1939; correspondence and papers of Megan Lloyd George, daughter of David and Margaret Lloyd George, including letters, 1939-1957, to and from Labour politician Philip Noel-Baker and from other correspondents, 1910-1966, including her parents, together with a tour journal, 1923-1924, and diary, 1947, and correspondence and papers, 1914-[c. 1963], of Gwilym Lloyd George, son of David and Margaret Lloyd George, including a typescript draft, [c. 1960]-1962, of his (unpublished) autobiography; together with speech notes, notebooks and miscellaneous papers, [c. 1904]-1939, of David Lloyd George, and correspondence and papers, 1898-1909, relating to Mair Eluned Lloyd George, daughter of David and Margaret Lloyd George.

These have been arranged in chronological order and numbered 1-2092, with the exception of the undated letters, that is, no's 42-71 and 1880-2092. It would undoubtedly be possible to date a large number of these undated letters with some precision. At the time of sorting, because of pressure of time, next to no attempt was made to do this. Readers should therefore when consulting the dated letters bear in mind the three volumes of undated letters. At the beginning of each of these three volumes is a table of suggested dates which readers are welcome to contribute to. It will be seen that a high proportion of the dated letters are dated only by the postmarks on their envelopes (all of which have been bound with the letters, including the few found empty). A very small number of dated letters, perhaps half a dozen in all, were found in what obviously were not their original envelopes, and removed. One implication of this must be that a small number of undated letters may also at some time have been replaced in the wrong envelopes and may now therefore be out of sequence.
