Sources guides and handlists
These provide detailed guidance to collections on a subject/topographical/format basis.
'A&M' in brackets after the title indicates consolidated information on both former Western Manuscripts holdings and former Contemporary Medical Archives Centre collections. These either replace one of the old CMAC series of 52 leaflets, or are entirely new.
These guides do not include uncatalogued material, but some of the collections described only have interim finding aids. It is always advisable to contact Archives and Manuscripts in advance of a visit: archs+mss@wellcome.ac.uk.
The downloadable handlists expand on the main catalogue descriptions of manuscript collections relating to various pre-20th century individuals and organisations.
