Diaries and notebooks.

Appointment diaries for 1963-69, 1995, and 1998-2003; many small notebooks used for both notes and sketches, used to varying degrees. A few are unnumbered or undated. The notebooks date from 1970 to 2003. Most are numbered in some way. Some have been additionally labelled or dated using detachable sticky notes. [Note: CP's student diaries may be found at Price 1/1/17.]

Correspondence

Personal and professional correspondence-- the latter significantly hybrid personal-professional-- including letters saved by Cedric Price's mother, Doreen, and subsequently by Price. Some letters from other family members to Doreen are included. Letters have been kept in their original bundles, except where material has been extracted for research purposes after CP's death and their original arrangement is no longer known.

See also the series of Price's office files for additional correspondence.

Artwork

Artwork by Cedric Price, predominantly early work from childhood and university, with a small number of later items and designs for promotional material. Chiefly loose items, many of which were originally bundled into a large portfolio; plus a drawing book. [Note: CP's notebooks may be found at Price 1/8.]

Price showed himself to be an excellent draughtsman from an early age. The work is in a variety of styles: graphic designs, line drawings (including technical), diagrams, doodles and sketches, rough and fine work. Some are abstract subjects, most are concrete; many concern buildings (mostly domestic) observed or imagined, boats and marinas, landscapes and seascapes.

Media includes pencil, coloured pencil, draughting pen, watercolours, biro, prints. Also includes some photocopies (colour and black-and-white) of originals.

Artefacts

Mixture of Cedric Price's personal and professional effects, including clothing, pin badges, toys, cigar boxes, posters and prints, ephemera, collected postcards, and some of his iconic detachable collars.
