Thomas Orton Jones Papers Relating to Gilbert and Sullivan, 1935-2004 (MS Thr 842).
Harvard Theatre Collection, Houghton Library, Harvard University.
Thomas Orton Jones (1916-2004) served in the U.S. Army's Manhattan Engineering
District during World War II as chief intelligence officer at the Los Alamos
Laboratory under J. Robert Oppenheimer. In 1946, he joined the U.S. Atomic Energy
Commission where he continued to work until his retirement in 1970.
Jones had personal passion for Gilbert and Sullivan operas, performing in productions
himself, along with a research interest in Gilbert and Sullivan and links of their
work to Oscar Wilde and James Whistler.
Organized into the following series:
- I. Correspondence
- II. Correspondence of others
- III. Production notes
- IV. Subject files
- V. Other research material
- VI. Exhibit materials
- VII. Scrapbook
- VIII. Photographs
- IX. Programs and playbills
- X. Periodicals
- XI. Other printed materials
- XII. Other materials
- XIII. Realia
Thomas Jones' correspondence and subject files make up the bulk of the collection.
While his Gilbert and Sullivan research was in aid of personal interest, Jones often
made copies of certain items to send to others doing similar research, chiefly
Arthur Jacobs and Jane Stedman. With these people and some others, what started as
an exchange of research, developed into personal relationships, and the
correspondence reflects this. When possible, enclosures where kept with the relevant
letter and/or correspondent.
The collection also contains notes on Gilbert and Sullivan productions in which Jones
likely participated; exhibit labels and other materials composed and compiled by
Jones for exhibits in his local Montgomery Country (Md.) library and elsewhere;
programs and playbills from Gilbert and Sullivan productions; periodicals published
by Gilbert and Sullivan societies; a scrapbook; realia; and other materials.
Some printed material, chiefly Gilbert and Sullivan librettos, were removed from the
collection and cataloged separately.
