About this work

Description

[Originally] an index card box containing what looks like a 'reference' set of images relating to Burkitt's cancer work in Africa and beyond, comprising black and white photographs, some negatives and some x-rays. Many are duplicated in the albums in series WTI/DPB/B/7. Many of the images were used in publications and where this is the case it is stated on the back of the photograph.

The clinical images are mostly of infants and children taken in the 1960s. Probably most are cases in Uganda and parts of Africa, but some are cases from other countries.

The contents are divided between images of jaw tumours (with J numbers); images of non-jaw tumours (with K numbers); images of differential diagnosis tumours (with DD numbers); images of groups of [cured] children and some groups of adults at hospitals or missions; some images of Burkitt with patients. The clinical images include the case J number and sometimes the name of the child, date of image. There are other divisions near the end of the box, without content filed in them.

Non-clinical images have been extracted and catalogued as WTI/DPB/B/13b.
