Series 2. Papers relating to Otto and Pamela van der Sprenkel, c. 1892-2000
This series is chiefly comprised of personal papers which belonged to Otto and Pamela van der Sprenkel. There is a diary compiled by Otto which his wife encouraged him to keep whilst recuperating from a heart attack in 1965, some letters from friends and family members, and a quantity of photographs, mostly snapshots. Also of interest are notebooks and materials relating to Pamela's research on Sir Joseph Banks, and a scrapbook containing cuttings and other items regarding the Kirkpatrick family, of which the prominent architect John Kirkpatrick (1856-1923) was a member.
