| Series I. Personal and professional papers, 1949-1986
.75 lin. ft.
|
| Series I contains correspondence, with many copies of Oakeshott's replies, arranged chronologically. Letters from the early
years (1949-1954) date from Oakeshott's Headmastership at Winchester College and consist mainly of requests from editors for
articles and book reviews by him, or letters from colleagues regarding his research and publication projects. Correspondence
from later years (1954-1972) dates from Oakeshott's time at Lincoln and Oxford and includes both professional and personal
letters. Notable correspondents are Bernard Rackham, Sir Francis Oppenheimer, and Sir Robert Birley. The files also contain
several of Oakeshott's notebooks, some filled with sermons and writings in his hand, with many notes and clippings inserted.
This series contains drafts of sermons, obituaries and eulogies, and addresses produced by Oakeshott largely during his time
at Winchester, Lincoln, and Oxford; a speech made by Oakeshott at his 80th birthday party; several personal photographs, loose
clippings, and ephemera.
