Cooper Collection
Scope and Contents
Please note that this collection consists of material that is strongly anti-semitic in nature.
The collection contains both published and unpublished material apparently compiled by an individual, thought to be F.T. Cooper, a cartoonist associated with the Imperial Fascist League, and mainly dates from the 1930s. It includes the English language version of the World Service issued by the Nazis in the 1930s.

Arrangement
By genre, and based on the bookseller's catalogue.The collection is divided in to the following categories: Printed pamphlets; leaflets and ephemera; manuscripts and typescripts; newspapers and newsletters.
Material has been subsequently added to this collection where considered appropriate (e.g. microfilm versions of serials in the Newspapers and newsletters section).
Custodial History
It was purchased in February 1993 from a bookseller who had received it in a wooden trunk bearing the name Cooper. Some of the items are also inscribed F.T. Cooper, therefore it seemed appropriate to attribute the items and the assemblage of the collection to Cooper.
