Scope and content
Cuttings of each of the Guardian's leading articles with manuscript annotations of the author's initials, 29 May 2001 - 15 September 2001 (front cover states Sunday 16 September 2001). Leading articles were published anonymously each day as the collective view of the newspaper. Researchers should note that leaders do not necessarily express the personal views of their writers.

13 July 2001: The dash to the right
13 July 2001: Parliament's poodles
13 July 2001: Surrender your sceptres
1 September 2001: Racism is everywhere
