| Description | Various internal BBC documents and circulars from George Orwell’s time working at the BBC. Orwell is listed in these papers as “E.A. Blair… Assistant, Empire Talks Unit, Empire Department”.
These papers consist of: transcriptions of staff training lectures; listener feedback; listener figures; newsletters; broadcast schedules, a glossary of broadcasting terms; reports; scripts for short radio plays, with annotations; and analysis of foreign broadcasts. Many of these documents have been annotated with doodles, presumably by Orwell. |
