Gordon family papers 

27 boxes & 5 photograph binders 

The collection consists of official and private documents belonging to the members of the Gordon, Auerbach, Heimann and Buchan families, including their correspondence and photographs. The letters between Alfred and Lore Gordon, most of which were written between June 1938 and January 1946, represent about two fifths of the entire collection. In addition there is a large body of correspondence between Lore and her parents in Germany, including some letters and Red Cross telegrams sent during the war. 

The materials are organised into series by family (Gordon, Auerbach, Heimann and Buchan) and then further sub-divided into sub-series and folders for family members. Within these the documents are arranged by type of material and then chronologically. Family photographs have been placed after the four main series, organised by family.

Where Margaret Gordon assigned an item a reference number, this has been noted on the item in question. The metadata on these items is available in an Excel sheet.
