Michael Bateman Archive
Description
Collection covering Michael Bateman's work as a journalist and writer. Journalistic work from the late 1950s up to 2003 is covered in a series of scrapbooks with press cuttings pasted in, and substantial series of files of research and drafts. The collection also covers books written, or contributed to, by Bateman, from the mid 1960s up to 2002. Later books, including 'Street Cafe Brazil' and 'World of Spice' are covered in great detail. Although Bateman was known primarily as a food writer and journalist, his earlier work and juvenilia covers a wide range of subjects, including creative writing. A further series titled 'log books' covers Bateman's own life writing over several decades. The collection also includes correspondence (often relating to his work), sketches and artwork (Bateman occaisionally illustrated articles), photographs and photograph albums, appointment diaries, address books, multimedia and substantial ephemera relating to his work.
