Abstract
Party publications: Candidates' Election Addresses, 1922-1994.
Biographical / Historical
In addition to working files and papers, the Conservative Party Archive (CPA) also includes an extensive range of non-manuscript material comprising of printed and published material by and about the Conservative Party. This includes this collection of Parliamentary election addresses issued by the majority of candidates from all parties for general elections, and some by-elections, between 1922 and 1994.
The early series of these election addresses were collected together by the Conservative Research Department and pasted into large volumes arranged according to constituency.

Custodial History
The Conservative Party Archive (CPA) was established as a source for academic study at the Bodleian Library in 1978 by an agreement made between the University of Oxford and the Conservative Party, and brought together surviving historic papers of the Party previously held in various locations including Newcastle University Library and the former Conservative Central Office in Smith Square, London. Since 1996, ownership and financial responsibility for the CPA has been vested in the Conservative Party Archive Trust. The CPA preserves the records of all three areas of Party organisation: parliamentary, voluntary and professional. It is recognised by the Conservative Party as the official repository for its historic records and those of affiliated organisations, and receives new material on a regular basis.
