Ronald was fastidious about annotating and cataloguing his work. Every original I've seen has been marked in pencil with subject or title, date and often the client. No other artist I've encountered has been so meticulous about recording their output-those charged with organizing his archive have most of the work done for them!
He kept a daily journal and was an inveterate correspondent, mostly by mail, then in later life with fax and email. During the 1950s to keep track of the insane, over-lapping deadlines for all the jobs he took on, he maintained carefully plotted charts.
The example below gives us an idea of just how many projects he had on the go at any one time- it never fails to surprise me how prolific Searle was!
