Personal Miscellany,, 1959-1991

Summary: Miscellaneous documents and personal items which Janet saved. Document types include programs of plays, operas and ballets, bland cards, invitations, catalogs, newspaper and magazine clippings, and miscellaneous notes.

Early material includes juvenilia, school report cards and papers from the 1950s, yearbooks from the Spence School (1962-1964), and Oxford Examination papers (1965-1966). Material from the 1980s includes information about artists colonies where Janet stayed, applications forms and information about foundations to which Janet applied for grants, notes on her illness, health and nutrition. Also includes unpublished manuscripts by Peter Blegvad and Michael Shulan, presumably friends she met at the artists' colonies.

Of particular interest is an oversize scrapbook (circa 1967-1974), chiefly containing photographs of Janet, Nicholas Fraser, and other friends at Oxford, with a few later photographs added at the end. Also of interest is a book in which Janet tried to keep track of her finances (1983-1986) and a tape recording ofa consultation with an astrologer in 1983.
