CustodialHistoryThese letters were found inside books from the library of the Galton Laboratory when the collection was catalogued in 2013. This library is primarily formed of the Galton Bequest books, which are a collection of approximately seven hundred volumes formerly housed in the Galton Laboratory but now transferred to UCL Special Collections. The letters in this series are additional to the letters previously found inside Galton Laboratory books, which were identified when the Galton Papers were originally listed in the 1970s (see GALTON/3/1/1).
ArrangementListed in the order in which they were found. The letters have been described individually in this catalogue but remain physically inside the Galton Laboratory books.
