Delia's Attic Papers consist of a cardboard box full of about twenty manilla folders, each of which contains her letters, handwritten notes and scores regarding the music she produced from 1962 to 1975.
The papers were found in her attic after she died in 2001 and were given to Mark Ayres who, in 2006, gave them on permanent loan, together with the Attic Tapes to David Butler at the University of Manchester. His department was given a high-quality flatbed scanner to digitize them but seem to have done nothing with them except show them to visiting luminaries.
Availability
The paper originals are in the care of David Butler at the University of Manchester in the UK and you can view them by visiting him. James Percival is making a catalogue of them for his second degree and they will ultimately be given to the John Rylands Library for long-term conservation and viewing.
Floating round the internet there are
- A 610MB collection of 137 high-definition scans, known as "the 'medialink' library", scanned in September 2008.
- A 309MB collection of 1170 fuzzy phone-camera snaps, covering almost everything in the box, taken in April 2010.
and this wiki is in part based on the latter - see Category:Paper for the small selection that have been included here.
