Description
|
The digital collection of British author Radclyffe Hall (1880-1943) and partner, artist and translator Una Vincenzo, Lady Troubridge (1887-1963), contains approximately 61,600 images representing the entirety of their papers at the Ransom Center. This data is the folder-level descriptive metadata for the collection. The Hall-Troubridge papers are an important resource for scholars of twentieth-century literature and culture. The papers support the study of Hall as a writer, Troubridge as a sculptor and translator, Hall and Troubridge’s partnership, and their interactions in various literary circles. The writings, correspondence, and diaries offer insight into subjects including gender identity, lesbianism, and sexuality; spiritualism and religion; and socio-political movements spanning the two world wars. Creating a Digital LGBTQIA+ collection from the Radclyffe Hall and Una Vincenzo, Lady Troubridge papers is a project that was supported by a Digitizing Hidden Collections grant from the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR). The grant program is made possible by funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The Harry Ransom Center gratefully acknowledges the support of CLIR and Mellon. The unpublished works, correspondence, diaries, and daybooks of Una Vincenzo, Lady Troubridge are under copyright in the United States. The Ransom Center is grateful to Alessandro Rossi Lemeni Makedon, the representative of Troubridge’s estate, who has granted permission for the Center to share the papers of Troubridge.
