  • The Rothschild Bibliography Caroline Shaw of the Rothschild Archive Describes Her Attempts to Chart the Family’S Countless Ventures Into Print
    The Rothschild Bibliography Caroline Shaw of The Rothschild Archive describes her attempts to chart the family’s countless ventures into print The ‘Dunottar Castle’ from the cover of Three weeks in South Africa by Ferdinand de Rothschild Has there ever been such a family as the Rothschilds for getting into print? For me, after working on this project for two years, the question is coloured by a mixture of wonder and exasperation. Will they never stop publishing? Of course, one hopes not; but is there to be no rest for the bibliographer? It has been a long-standing goal of The Rothschild Archive to compile a bibliography of publications by members of the Rothschild family and now, 1,840 entries by fifty-one individuals further on, we are perhaps ready to acknowledge that critical mass has been reached whilst accepting that completion may never be achieved. The initial motivation for producing The Rothschild bibliography was a desire to bring some kind of intellectual order to this not insignificant aspect of the activities of the Rothschild family. It has been a mapping of a wide and diverse terrain and revealed some previously uncharted areas. Beyond this, and the greater insight allowed into the lives and interests of many members of the family, the bibliography has brought some other benefits to the Archive. New acquisitions have followed from our greater knowledge and awareness of the publications; and the ever-expanding database of references has also built up into a guide for locating material, whether held at the Archive or at another institution.

On his return from an Italian honeymoon, Lionel made a speech of thanks for their wedding gift to his parliamentary constituents of Mid Bucks revealing his dedication to his hobby and his eagerness to share its results with others: I must thank you for a very pleasant four weeks’ holiday which I have had in Italy, but I want to tell you that during those four weeks I was not idle, for I managed to take a camera with me, and I took a great many coloured photographs.
