Acquisition

The bulk of the archive was deposited in the Bodleian in 1958, for the use of Lord Beveridge. It was given to the Library in 1969, and has been augmented from time to time with batches of more recent papers, most recently with the case files of refugees from the Hungarian crisis of 1956 (boxes 571-578). Records more than 30 years old are available for research. The SPSL formally changed its name in 1999, and is now known as the Council for At-Risk Academics, or Cara.
