Correspondence - 1942-1972, 1942-1972

The Max Nicholson/Julian Huxley papers consist of correspondence, documents, typescripts, articles, and off-prints. The subject of the collection is primarily the materials related to Nicholson's publication efforts with other scholars, including Jacob Bronowski, Julian Huxley, Francis Williams, and Barbara Wootton, from the years 1927 to 1980s. Nicholson was active in nature conservation, which is one the strongest themes occurring throughout this collection.

Series I concerns Nicholson's collaboration with his contemporaries (including Julian Huxley) on projects such as the Idea Systems Group and consists of minutes, working papers and internal correspondence. Series II consists of correspondence and papers between Huxley and Nicholson regarding various organizations, such as the Center for the Study of Mankind; the Human Potentialities of Peace, which was a proposal for a Pugwash (COSWA) Conference; Post-War Aims Group/P.E.P. Club; and the proposed E. African Academy of Science.
