Abstract
The crucial archival resource for Malcolm Lowry is the Lowry Collection within Special Collections at the University of British Columbia (Vancouver). This includes published editions; critical studies; correspondence (in-coming and out-going); scholarly projects; remnants of Lowry's personal library; and miscellaneous files from family, scholars, publishers and friends. Much of the material has been digitalised, and the Collection is maintained well. Lowry's manuscripts are notoriously messy and heavily revised, but these impressive holdings have been essential to many recent critical editions of Lowry's novels, poetry, and letters; and will inform the scholarly work that still needs to be done, notably the preparation of more accurate texts to replace current flawed editions. Other materials are housed in the New York Public Library, the Huntington Library, the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, Nasjonalbiblioteket (Oslo), and (more recently) at the Malcolm Lowry Centre in Liverpool; these usefully complement the primary archival resources at UBC.
