British Library, Eton College in Anthony Powell Papers Row

From The Guardian (thanks to Artsjournal for the tip):

"Eton College was quietly asked last year to hand over the manuscript collection to the British Library while both bodies put in bids to become the permanent custodians of Powell's work. Michael Meredith, Eton's librarian, personally took the manuscripts to the British Library to hand them over to Christopher Wright, the head of manuscripts."
