The surviving archive of The Times Literary Supplement is housed at the News International Record Office. It consists of the following principal classes of records: Stock Books As described in ‘Sources
and Methods’, these represent the working lists of material available to the
Editor of the TLS for each issue of the paper. They include the reviews, articles
and letters available for publication each week together with a note of their length. The
items used in a particular issue were scored through and the remaining unused material
went forward for consideration the next week. The Stock Books survive from 1909 onward but
any meaningful information on the names of contributors is only included from 1914. Contributors Department Marked Copies These consist of a back-file of the published
paper annotated in manuscript with information indicating the authorship of individual
reviews and articles. Details of payments made are included from 15 April 1909. The
records survive from 1902, though there are some gaps in the sequence notably the years
1955, 1957, 1967, 1970-1973 which are missing. Editors’ documents/correspondence and editorial copy Although some material has survived from 1902 onwards it is very fragmented and it is not until the 1960’s that any meaningful quantity of documents and correspondence has survived. Please note however that this material is subject to a 30-year closure rule. The Times Editorial Leader Diaries These relate specifically to The Times
and date from 1857 but from 1902 they include details of the author and title of the main
articles and reviews in the TLS. Access to the TLS Archive at News International Record Office The Record Office is open to researchers by prior arrangement only. Potential researchers are required to complete a registration form and supply the names of two referees. References are taken up before the researcher is admitted.
