sub-series 19 - Travels

155 files

This series contains files relating to Sir Anthony's travels throughout his lifetime. All files included involve professional visits by Sir Anthony for conferences, academic/research society meetings, and laboratory tours. Also included are travels in his capacity as Foreign Secretary of the Royal Society and Chairman for the Committee on Science in Central and Eastern Europe (COMSCEE) for the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU). Most of Sir Anthony's visits to the United States concerned, in part, his role on the Scientific Advisory Committee of the New England Regional primate Research Center at Harvard Medical School.

Contents include travel arrangements, programmes, financial arrangements, agendas, minutes, notes from laboratory visits, reports, paper abstracts, conference proceedings, and letters of appreciation. Most files also include photographs and memorabilia. D/19/155 contains additional photographs from Sir Anthony's travels and professional portraits.

The original file order has been retained. Files are organized chronologically and geographically. The files follow a strict chorological order to the year, but files from a particular year are grouped together by country or region. For example, all trips to the United States in the year 1983 are grouped under a single file titled 'USA (1983)' (D/19/77).
