Memory Hold-the-Door is a 1940 autobiographical memoir by the Scottish writer John Buchan.

In a preface to the book Buchan disclaims the description of autobiography, preferring to call his work "a journal of certain experiences, not written in the experiencing moment, but rebuilt out of memory".

[2] The book recounts Buchan's life of public service, his literary work from his early days in the Scottish Highlands through his years at Oxford, and his service in both Britain's Boer campaign and World War I (the latter, as Britain's Director of Intelligence and Information for the War Cabinet), before covering his years in Parliament, and appointment as Governor General of Canada.

Kennedy urged anyone he wanted to understand him to read Pilgrim's Way,[3] and often quoted passages from it to friends and associates whom he regarded as equally appreciative of fine prose.
