AdminHistoryCorrespondence relating to the evacuation of UCL in September 1939. Haldane initially refused to evacuate the College premises because no provision had been made for the continuation of his research elsewhere, a situation which eventually led to him moving his office into the Zoology department animal house because heating had been shut off to the rest of the College buildings. Alternative accommodation for some of his laboratory was found at Rothamsted Experimental Station in Harpenden.
