| Title: | SMITH, ROBERT WILLIAM INNIS |
| Description: |
The papers of R.W. Innes Smith chiefly relate to his research into various aspects of medical history and biography during the 1920s and early 1930s; and in particular to his interest in British medical students at European universities in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, which led to the publication of his book 'English speaking students of medicine at the University of Leiden', Edinburgh 1932. His papers also include three notebooks dating from his time as a medical student, c.1900; but apart from these all the papers appear to date from after 1920. A small number of related items, c.1933 - c.1935, were added to the collection by Innes Smith's daughter after his death. |
