A few months ago Roger Morgan, CM's son, came to a momentous decision. The former Librarian of the House of Lords, he had always treasured, maintained, protected, sorted and catalogued the enormous archive of his father's work -- not just the books and essays and all the papers pertaining thereto, but the countless theatre reviews and brief newspaper contributions, letters and miscellaneous items -- in his London house. Now, at 90, he felt it was time for this collection to move into a library where it would be professionally cared for and available to the public. So, after pondering various options, he decided that the most suitable place for the Morgan Archive was the Bodleian Library in the University of Oxford. The Bodleian has now received the material, and this blog will keep Morganians informed as to the stages of its organisation and eventual availability. We owe a vote of thanks to Roger Morgan for this generous gift to the Republic of Letters!
