The decision by the National Trust to deposit the main Kipling Archive at Sussex in 1978 made the 5X社区视频 a focus for the attention of Kipling scholars world wide. Its reputation for comprehensiveness has made the Archive a leading candidate for future additions and it has, over the years, been augmented and expanded by the addition of some judicious purchases and generous donations as detailed below.
