Immediate source of acquisition

The major portion of the Cedric Price Archive is held at the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montréal, to which it was transferred in a number of consignments between 1995 and 2004. This personal section of his archive was given to the College by his consort, Eleanor Bron (''Partner' implies business, whereas 'consort' sounds like you had fun together.'), in 2012, with a further deposit in 2016.
