Energy: Lawson minute to MT ("Severn Barrage") ["The alternative to the latest STPG proposal would be to kill the project. This, I believe, would be wrong, in view of the fact that the barrage is the only so-called alternative energy source which could contribute significantly to our electricity needs"; MT: "I have always found this prospect exciting and am pleased with the proposal"] [declassified Aug 2013] |

Documents lie at the core of this website, each one dated and sorted chronologically (by default) in search results. Most are images in PDF format of original paper documents scanned or filmed for the site. There also transcripts of speeches and interviews, press articles, photos, videos, and more. The document database contains tens of thousands of items and permits complex searching.
Files are multi-page PDFs from which most of the documents on the site are selected. All of Mrs Thatcher’s official files from No.10 are available in full on this site (paper copies are stored at the National Archives in the series PREM19), as well as most of those of Geoffrey Howe and Nigel Lawson as Chancellor (stored at TNA as series T639 and T640).
Guides are articles about key events and topics. Many were written to accompany annual releases of Mrs Thatcher’s private and party papers at the Churchill Archive Centre in Cambridge.
