Collection description___________________________________________________________________________

Ref No: JRHExtent: 5 linear metresTitle: Papers of James Rendel HarrisDate: c. 1880s-1960sDescription: The papers of James Rendel Harris include notebooks and newspaper

cuttings relating to his research on folklore and the history of the Pilgrim Fathers' ship, the Mayflower; and correspondence with other scholars and friends: Herbert George Wood, his secretary Irene Speller Pickard, Eric Wills, and L Violet Hodgkin. The collection contains many of his own copies of his books and essays, published and unpublished. These are often annotated and occasionally contain letters or other documents. There are also papers about him collected by Irene Speller Pickard during the writing of her book, 'Memories of James Rendel Harris'; and papers of Harris's nephew, John Major, concerning their research on the Egyptian origins of English place names, which was Harris's main research interest in the last years of his life.

Arrangement: The papers have been divided into three groups (sub-fonds): papers created by Rendel Harris himself, and papers about him collected by Irene Pickard and by his nephew John Major. The first group has been arranged by record type into five series: press cuttings and research notes; notebooks; articles and lectures; correspondence; and books.

The collection was originally listed using references beginning G Har. These correspond to the new references as follows:

The papers relating to Rendel Harris's Mayflower research (listed as JRH 1/1/3-1/1/6) were given to Woodbrooke by his nephew, Harold Angus, in 1976. Papers belonging to Rendel Harris's nephew, John Major (listed as JRH/3) were given to Woodbrooke by his wife in 1966.

administration from 1903 onwards and personal papers of students and staff.

Haverford Quaker College holds manuscript collected by Harris and some of his personal papers.

A Life on the Quest', Quaker Studies 8 (2004): 208-225.
