| Description | This file is largely made up of correspondence, but does include a copy of plans and preliminary reports for the expedition. These plans are titled 'outline', 'scientific programmes' and 'photography'. The correspondence is arranged alphabetically by organisation or by person. Occasionally these are out of order, for example 'New Zealand members generally' was catalogued under K, probably so that it was next to additional correspondence with G A Knox. The organisations or people in the file are as follows: the American Embassy (also see United States Embassy); G Bailes & Sons; the British Council; the Chilean Embassy; Durham University (Colleges and Science Laboratories); Dominion Museum; Falkland Island Dependencies Survey; George Hemmen; Canterbury University College; J W Marshall; D C Martin; Medical Research Council; C Vita-Finzi.
This file appears to have been compiled by Martin Holdgate, rather than by the Royal Society. This is why the folder contains original letters from George Hemmen, Dr D C Martin and Dr C F A Pantin, who represented the Royal Society, but copy versions of Holdgate's replies. |
