Baden-Powell NCUACS 145/2/06 GENERAL INTRODUCTION PROVENANCE The material, the great bulk of which covers the period 1921-1973, was received at Oxford University Museum of Natural History on permanent transfer from the Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford, on 21 October 2004. It should be noted that it comprises essentially Baden-Powell’s research material. There are virtually no personal or family correspondence and papers in the collection. OUTLINE OF THE CAREER OF DONALD BADEN-POWELL Donald Ferlys Wilson Baden-Powell was born at Theberton Hall, Suffolk on 5 October 1897, son of Sir George Smyth Baden-Powell MP, and grandson of Rev. Baden Powell who had held the Savilian Chair of Geometry at Oxford. His uncle, Robert, Lord Baden-Powell, was the founder of the Scouting Movement. writing, and to undertake expeditions and travel. He was also in frequent demand as a leader of field expeditions, most especially in East Anglia where he had many links. (H.64), he devoted his life to Quaternary studies, working as an honorary research worker in the Department of Geology. Though he shared in lecturing and teaching duties, he held no official appointment in the University or the Department until 1958 when the post of Lecturer in Prehistoric wounded, and entered Oriel College Oxford in 1919. From that time, the location and focus of his life His enquiring mind led him to explore the wider ramifications of his subject, keeping meteorological hardly changed. Following a first degree in Natural Science (Geology) in 1922 and a B.Sc in 1926 Archaeology was created for him; his private means enabled him to concentrate on research and Baden-Powell was educated at Eton, served in France in the First World War where he was seriously working, in 1973. making. His comments on his visit to the Soviet Union under Stalin in 1937 are also of interest. records of local weather at his home, and practising prehistoric techniques of fire, weapon and tool Baden-Powell received the Foulerton Award of the Geologists’ Association in 1956. He died, still D.F.W. Baden-Powell NCUACS 145/2/06 DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLECTION The material is presented as shown in the List of Contents. The following paragraphs are intended only to draw attention to items which may be of particular interest. Additional explanatory notes, information and cross-references are appended where appropriate to the separate sections and entries in the body of the catalogue. Section A. Biographical and Personal, contains very little documentation of Baden-Powell’s career and virtually no private or family material. There is a little correspondence on his service in the Observer Corps in the 1939-1945 War, and on his career at Oxford. His impressions of Russia in 1937 are also included here. Dame Margaret Turner-Warwick (Baden-Powell’s niece) kindly contributed recollections of her uncle, and family photographs, which appear at A.25. Section B, Field Notebooks and notes, includes a long sequence of field notebooks compiled 1921- 1973, documenting expeditions and travel in UK and abroad, carefully indexed and constantly referred to by Baden-Powell in all sections of the collection including his correspondence. In the absence of personal diaries they also furnish some insights into his personality. The regions most visited are East Anglia, the Oxford area, Yorkshire and Scotland; Baden-Powell’s notes on the changing formations of terrain and exposures are useful in recording now vanished or inaccessible features. The section also includes notes on undergraduate lectures attended by Baden-Powell, given by W.J. Sollas, J.A. astronomy, meteorology and languages. unencumbered by the demands of administration or the ambition to play a major part in public life. Douglas, H.L. Bowman and others, and on some of Baden-Powell’s ‘extra- mural’ interests such as seeming at first sight a narrow specialism, in fact was the clue to the whole of his later work, pursued to the detriment of his published record. The ‘glacial deposits’ led to research into the topic of glaciation, the dates of the ice ages, the advance and retreat of ice-sheets, coastal and river Sections C-F are all concerned with the research to which Baden-Powell devoted his life largely expanding under investigation to acquire international and historical ramifications, some of which he The title of his 1926 B.Sc. thesis, ‘The marine fauna of the glacial deposits of the British Isles’, while and his academic career at Oxford. formation, and climatology. The ‘marine fauna’ involved careful study and identification of specimens (at which Baden-Powell became an acknowledged and widely-consulted expert), of stratigraphy, of the main area of his research and field investigations, primarily in his native East Anglia, Yorkshire and Scotland, but he travelled extensively and incorporated European and other material into his work. Additionally, the long perspective of terrestrial and climate changes over time encouraged from the first an interest in archaeology and prehistory, which became dominant features in his research beaches, dunes and ‘raised beds’, and of comparable areas elsewhere. The ‘British Isles’ remained D.F.W. Baden-Powell NCUACS 145/2/06 An attempt has been made in this collection to divide into major areas the very substantial amount of Baden-Powell’s research material, which frequently overlaps in theme and location. Section C, Regions and Topics, deals with relatively clearly defined areas, often related to publications. Sections D, Raised Beds and E: Prehistory and Early Man, while distinct in their final form, may share some initial features which preclude any hard and fast dividing lines. Section F, Stratigraphic projects, comprises some of Baden-Powell’s most fundamental and respected work, on erratics and on molluscan biostratigraphy (see especially F.24). Each of these sections has its own introduction and list of contents. Section G, Lectures and papers, is fairly scanty and related mainly to work at Oxford. Section H, Publications and projects, reveals the strengths and the weaknesses of Baden-Powell’s relatively low-key career. It is clear that his published output was considerable and certainly more extensive than the attributed record. Since personal advancement played no part in his publishing schedule his work is often incorporated in official reports rather than appearing as a discrete item. Examples of this have been identified where possible. The inclusion of the term Projects, however, is a reminder of Baden-Powell’s tendency to envisage and draw up outline plans for major synoptic works, for which he would accumulate extensive notes and references which expanded exponentially references to the assistance or contribution which he regularly provided to the work of colleagues. to his own discoveries, field notebooks and unpublished material. committee service and attended few conferences. It may be that documentation about such activities was retained at his home and did not form part of the manuscript collection. in historical and geographical scope, but which - perhaps lacking the discipline of a deadline - did not come to completion It should be noted, however, that almost every section of the catalogue contains Section K, Correspondence, is extensive and of interest. Some of Baden-Powell’s correspondents Section J, Societies, organisations and meetings is somewhat slight since Baden-Powell did not seek were highly-respected scientists such as the geologist W.J. Arkell and the anthropologist K.P. Oakley excuses his own typed letters on the grounds of a poor memory. term correspondents used first names and ‘Baden-Powell’ was the usual mode of address; younger friends had no such inhibitions and write ‘Donald’ from the beginning. Among the older generation, typewritten letters were the exception and regarded as less than friendly - Baden-Powell often (perhaps his oldest friend). Others were ‘amateurs’ and local historians with long experience and knowledge of their district. Baden-Powell writes to them all in frank and friendly terms, often referring The social conventions of the time can be seen in the formalities of address. Few even of the long- D.F.W. Baden-Powell NCUACS 145/2/06 Section L, Non-textual material, contains a range of photographs from the 1930s onwards, usually with dates and locations, some sent to Baden-Powell from colleagues and correspondents. Of special interest is the folder of portraits of Tasmanian Aboriginals from paintings by the English expatriate Thomas Bock; this is at L.38, with an explanatory note. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We are grateful to Dame Margaret Turner-Warwick for contributing recollections of her mother and uncle, and family photographs. Many members of the staff of Oxford University Museum of Natural History have kindly given help and advice, in particular Professor W.J. Kennedy, Mr H.P. Powell, Miss E. Howlett and Miss M.T. Price. Mr P.A. Jeffery gave advice on many matters and also kindly read through and commented on the draft catalogue. Dr C. Whistler of the Ashmolean Museum advised on the Aboriginal portraits. J.B.

Baden-Powell NCUACS 145/2/06 SECTION A BIOGRAPHICAL AND PERSONAL, A.1-A.25 1927-1976 The material surviving here is unfortunately scanty. a Though most of Baden-Powell’s life was spent as research worker at Oxford, he held no official position in the University until his appointment in 1958 as Lecturer in Prehistoric Archaeology, originally without stipend and within a few years of the retirement age. Thanks to private means, he was able to devote his time to assiduous research in his chosen fields and to undertake necessary travel. He was also, as might be expected, an enthusiastic and conscientious lecturer, writing in a letter of February 1955 (K.149) that he is rewriting some work since ‘the lectures to the students interest me very much, and | think it is most important to give them facts which are as much up-to-date as possible’. virtually no private correspondence here, There is but Baden-Powell’s wide culture and enquiring eye can be appreciated from his account of his journey to the Soviet Union in 1937 (A.23) which is of considerable general interest.

Baden-Powell NCUACS 145/2/06 SECTION E RESEARCH: PREHISTORY AND EARLY MAN, E.1-E.90 1936-1973 Section E, like the previous Section D, contains abundant research material on this far-ranging topic, drawn from Baden-Powell’s own research and from his extensive reading. Although the time-scale is in vast than less geology, the geographical range is wider, dealing with the location, dating and development of human life at many points on the planet. Since these factors in themselves depend on the geological and climatological conditions which enable man to survive, there is an unavoidable degree of overlap. Baden-Powell himself recognised this and often re-assigned material to suit some immediate project ‘temporarily’ as he would write in a headnote. in also the what early man is seen in His interest in the habitat, implements, culture and social notes on existence of tool cultures (E.46-E.52) and he designated ‘Pagan Survivals’ (E.53-E.72) such as cult objects, sites and rituals. The items on experimental prehistory at E.73- E.90 describe Baden-Powell’s own ventures into practical archaeology in making tools, weapons, fire and shelter and the lifelong interest in prehistory became predominant in his later years as can be seen from the reworking and dating of the notes continuing to within a few weeks before his death in September 1973. like.

The material here indicates a much more substantial output, from 1927-1968, attested by draft, published copy, or indirectly through editorial or scientific correspondence. Furthermore, his work on both geological and archaeological topics was sometimes incorporated in official reports by a principal investigator rather than appearing as a discrete publication under his own name. Several of the organisations in Section J include contributions of this kind made by Baden-Powell to their meetings and journals. of the headings, sometimes Publications section however - The title and Projects - refers to Baden-Powell’s tendency to envisage major works, which he would outline in plans, chapter or section for chapters, but which did not reach full completion. The notes and references which he accumulated, some of which appear in all the research sections C-F, were no doubt intended to find a place in these massive synoptic works. Perhaps their bulk, to which he was constantly adding, defeated him. indeed drafts in H.1-H.56 H.57-H.61 H.64-H.95 H.62, H.63 EDITORIAL BROADCAST AND FILM PUBLICATIONS, PAPERS, REVIEWS UNPUBLISHED AND PROJECTED WORK Items H.64 - H.95 deal with these unfinished projects.

Baden-Powell NCUACS 145/2/06 SECTION J SOCIETIES, ORGANISATIONS AND MEETINGS, J.1- J.28 1934-1971 Baden-Powell was not an organisation or committee man. He was involved with few societies and attended few conferences, his frequent travels in the UK and abroad being generally undertaken privately. in the public world, The material here is therefore relatively thin, though it does supply indications of his involvement in geological activities as speaker or leader of expeditions at meetings, and as an occasional committee member. The most extensive information relates to the Geologists’ Association (J.5-J.16) of which he was a long- term member and which awarded him its Foulerton Medal in 1956. The invitation to organise excursions to East Anglia for the Centenary meeting in 1958 meant much to him. attendance Baden-Powell’s International Geological Congress in 1937, and his impressions of the Soviet Union at that time, are of considerable general interest and are retained at A.22, A.23. 17th the at GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON GEOLOGISTS’ ASSOCIATION GEOLOGICAL SURVEY AND MUSEUM COUNCIL FOR BRITISH ARCHAEOLOGY BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR QUATERNARY RESEARCH (INQUA) INTERNATIONAL GEOLOGICAL CONGRESS MALACOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON LE PLAY SOCIETY D.F.W.

His father, a prosperous Ipswich tailor and outfitter, took his son to work in his shop at the age of 16. He had no capacity for business, eventually abandoning it to devote himself to archaeology, though his means were very limited and became even more straitened in later years. He had honorific posts, notably as President of Ipswich Museum, and was elected to the Royal Society in 1937, but no professional or academic career.
