Some of the abbreviations used in the box content listings have been expanded.
The photographs (originals and copies) date from the late 19th century to the 1990s.

Arrangement
This note was written by Sarah Flynn prior to its deposit at the Wellcome Library in 2003:
There was a box list produced largely from the contents listings written onto the boxes when they were at the former Wellcome archives. Contents of boxes have in most cases not been checked and descriptions may be incomplete or misleading.
