Taylor, R. K. S. (Richard K. S.)

This collection comprises the research notes and material used by Dr Taylor in writing his PhD thesis, ‘The British nuclear disarmament movement of 1958 to 1965 and its legacy to the left’ (University of Leeds, 1983). The thesis was based on study of the archives of key organisations (the National Council for the Abolition of Nuclear Weapons Tests, the Direct Action Committee Against Nuclear War, the Committee of 100 and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament) and on interviews conducted with leading individuals in the nuclear disarmament movement.
