The Stamp Archive

Sussex University holds the Laurence Dudley Stamp archive.

This holds 53 boxes of papers linked to Laurence Dudley Stamp.

I'm interested in the unpublished autobiography that is in one of the boxes.

I've renewed my British Library readers card, so hoping I can start to do a little more relevant research as my time becomes less tied to the school academic year.

The RGS offers a Dudley Stamp Memorial Award.

A nice description of him here:

His lively and genial personality, reinforced by a supreme breadth of knowledge about the world and those who wrote about it, by a formidable energy and capacity for work, zest for travel and an accurate memory, was indeed widely appreciated. 

His accomplishment in developing studies of land utilization, starting from the great survey of Britain that he initiated in the depths of the 1931 depression, was justly honoured. He was one of the first members to join this Society, and while his travels in his later years more commonly took him to the great cities of the world rather than the silent ice, he retained his sympathy with the aims of a new and developing branch of the earth sciences.
