Cataloging Decisions

1. The cataloging of the collection was begun by Sarah Green in 2009, and completed by Gayle M. Richardson in 2010. Regardless of the cataloger, the standard authorized form of the names has been used on the folders and in the Finding Aid.
2. A number of letters and postcards were originally pasted down or mounted into albums by previous owners. The letters and postcards have been removed from the original pages and mountings; but, some evidence of the original locations (old glue, tabs, etc.) remain on the letters. Also, some material in the collection has pencilled notes and markings of previous owners and sellers.

Biographical Note

James Bryce, Viscount Bryce (1838-1922), British politician, historian and diplomat, was born in Belfast, on May 10, 1838; he was educated at the University of Glasgow and Trinity College, Oxford. He was called to the Bar in 1867, and first elected to Parliament as a Liberal in 1880, where he remained until 1907. Throughout his life, Bryce travelled and wrote extensively, and was active in the intellectual and literary communities of England, America and Europe.
On July 23, 1889, Bryce married Elizabeth Marion Ashton when he was fifty-one years old and she was twenty years younger; they had no children. In 1907, he was appointed British Ambassador to the United States, a post he held until 1913. Upon his return to England, Bryce was created Viscount Bryce and joined the House of Lords; he also served at the International Court at The Hague, worked in support of the League of Nations, and continued to write and travel. He was on holiday in Sidmouth, Devon, when he unexpectedly died of heart failure on Jan. 22, 1922.
