| Description | Cuttings of each of the Guardian's leading articles with manuscript annotations of the author's initials, 2 October 1992 - 19 January 1993. Many of the articles in this volume have no annotated, leaving the author anonymous. 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.
