Papers and correspondence of Lewis Fry Richardson, 1881-1993.

This small collection consists principally of the correspondence Ashford conducted with Richardson's colleagues while preparing his biography and Richardson's own notes and drafts. These notes and drafts range from manuscript jottings and research notes to lecture notes on differential equations 1937-1938 and drafts submitted for publication, and their subjects relate to Richardson's meteorological and mathematical interests, to his study of war and to his interest in psychology. Of considerable biographical interest is Richardson's house diary recording aspects of life at the family home Hillside House, Kilmun, Argyll 1943-1953. Ashford's own correspondence with Richardson and his collection of Richardson photographs were made available for cataloguing but are retained by Ashford during his lifetime.
