NHMF steps in to safeguard Turing collection
A collection of offprints relating to the life and work of mathematician Alan Turing has been saved for the nation after the final piece of funding was secured.
The National Heritage Memorial Fund (NHMF) has contributed more than £213,000 to help purchase the articles for the Bletchley Park Trust. Professor Max Newman, a friend of Alan Turing, owned the collection of articles and was a fellow wartime codebreaker at Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire.
NHMF chair Dame Jenny Abramsky said: "This grant will now ensure that this extremely rare collection of his work stands as a permanent memorial to the man and to all those who paid the ultimate price in service to this nation."
