| Description | These files cover Simon's correspondence with a wide range of groups, institutions and organisations with which he was affiliated or had a keen interest in.
Files containing correspondence on Oxford University and Israel have been grouped together.
The section 'British Universities Correspondence' was previously catalogued as such and consists mostly of letters with other individual scientists rather than administrative papers.
The papers cover a range of different organisations and institutions, such as groups assisting emigre German Scientists during the Second World War (Society for Protection of Science and Learning, Emergency Society for German Scholars Abroad); scientific institutions (Royal Society, Royal Institution); companies and charitable organisations offering possible funding for Simon (Rockefeller Foundation, British Oxygen Company, Shell, General Electric Company, ICI etc) and organisations allied to Simon's research (United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, Ministry of Defence). |
