| Title: | Catalogue of the papers and correspondence of HEINZ LONDON, OM FRS (1907-1970) |
| Description: |
Dr. London's scientific work and conference papers comprise the bulk of the collection; they include notebooks dealing with his work on the 'Tube Alloy' project during the Second World War (Items 23 - 26). Those laboratory notebooks and working papers which are not identifiable by date and/or title have been listed as 'Miscellaneous' (Items 49 - 55). Many of Dr. London's notes made while he was working at Bristol are written on the back of students' examination scripts. Many of the earlier working papers, and much of the correspondence, are in German; an indication of this is given in the handlist. Because of the close relationship which existed between Dr. London and his elder brother, all material and offprints relating to Fritz London and his work have been retained in the collection. I.
