The gift of this archive builds on Tate’s strong holdings of the artistic members of the Bloomsbury group. The archive covers the whole of Duncan Grant’s long life and career, as well as part of his family’s papers such as correspondence, sketches, documents and photographs. There are large quantities of letters from Grant’s friends and acquaintances, across the Bloomsbury group and beyond; address books and pocket diaries; and memoirs and writings by Grant and other scholars. Dotted throughout the papers are sketches and doodles by Grant as well as a number of small sketchbooks..
