Immediate source of acquisitionPresented to Special Collections at the University of Bradford in 2003-2004 by The New Atlantis Foundation trustees. Scope and contentThe collection includes working and personal papers of Dimitrije Mitrinović - namely published and unpublished writings, including correspondence, lectures, articles and notes. There are papers relating to his Yugoslav activism, interest in music and art, involvement in the Blutbund (with Wassily Kandinsky), alongside material relating to Mitrinović’s death and will, letters of condolence and the reminiscences of his friends and family. There are also papers created and assembled as part of the research process in preparation for biographies of Mitrinović. The collection also includes the records created by members of Mitrinović’s circle, and members of the Adler Society, the New Europe Group, New Britain Movement, House of Industry League, Anthropo-Femina of the New Atlantis (and other women’s groups established by Mitrinović), and the New Atlantis Foundation. This material includes administrative papers, records of group events, promotional material, lecture and study notes, correspondence, articles and publications, and notes. In some cases there are records of sub-groups. The New Atlantis Foundation papers include records relating to the Mitrinović Library and Archive, before they were donated to the Universities of Belgrade and Bradford. The Archive includes material gathered as study resources for Mitrinović and his followers. This includes copies of published works by various authors heavily annotated and altered by Mitrinović, studies of specific authors and their works and subject files created by the group. Finally, the collection includes some photographs, many of which are of Mitrinović himself, and a few personal objects belonging to him. AppraisalSome published books have been moved from the Archive and added to the Mitrinović Library, where they represent usable copies of particular works. Archival material found amongst the Library books has been moved to the Archive. All such movements of material have been recorded, so their original locations can be established. AccrualsFurther material from the Mitrinović Foundation is anticipated. System of arrangementThe archive has been arranged in 12 sections, as follows:
The original structure of the collection has been retained where discernible, with some files moved to better reflect their creating organisation and the intentions of the New Atlantis Foundation concerning the archive. The contents of individual files have been retained (except in a few cases of obvious misfiling); those that have been re-organised since their creation keep their most recent form. Original descriptions and conclusions are included in this catalogue if they are helpful to collection users. Before coming to Bradford, the collection was split between storage areas in several houses then owned by members of the New Atlantis Foundation: Woodbine Cottage, Colstock, and Old Farm, all in Ditchling, Sussex. Woodbine Cottage and Colstock are located on the High Street and Old Farm is on Farm Lane. Records in Sections 1, 11 and 12 were formerly housed in Woodbine Cottage, which held material relating directly to Mitrinović, his life and work. Records in Sections 2, 4-8 were housed in Colstock, which held notes taken during Mitrinović’s lectures alongside related indexes, as well as the papers of various groups established by Mitrinović The contents of the Library at Colstock were considered somewhat separately, covering the papers of those connected to Mitrinović and his groups. This broadly corresponds to what is now Section 3. The Library also held notes taken by members of Mitrinović’s circle, many of which were unsorted. These have been sorted and added to appropriate sections to assist researchers. In addition, Old Farm held original and duplicate copies of notes of talks and lectures by Mitrinović (i.e. more of Section 2). These were never listed by the New Atlantis Foundation, and again the files have now been filed under the appropriate sections. Access conditionsAvailable to researchers, by appointment. Access to archive material is subject to preservation requirements and must also conform to the restrictions of the Data Protection Act and any other appropriate legislation. This collection contains correspondence and other items containing personal data so access is restricted under the Data Protection Act to certain records in Section 3 (Papers of individual members of Mitrinović’s circle), Section 4 (Adler Society), and Section 5 (New Europe Group) are closed due to the presence of sensitive personal information.
