Campaign Against Rising Prices (C.A.R.P.) records.
Scope and Contents
The collection consists mainly of correspondence and newspaper clippings, with some minutes of meetings and miscellaneous publications.
When acquired, the material was in a highly disorganised state but has been arranged in chronological sequence. For material dating from 1971-1973 the original order has been kept, with loose items included at the end of the relevant year. The papers have been grouped by month except where subject files have been warranted by CARP's own ordering.
The research papers of MA student Barry Chisholm have been kept together.
Items numbered by box, then folder e.g. 1/2 (Box 1, Folder 2), 6/7 (Box 6, Folder 7) etc.
