The documents in this section provide a remarkably complete insight into Charles Trotter's life in Nairobi between 1951 and 1962, complementing his photographic archive at 2001/090/1 and in many cases adding contextual information to the images found there.
They include the publications he retained as evidence of his work, which shed light on the types of commissions he undertook; the records of his involvement with clubs and organisations in Nairobi, particularly relating to his passions of shooting and motorsport, and documents relating to his experiences as a competitor at the Olympic Games, a valuable part of Kenyan sporting history.
