Catalogue of the NHM's Wallace Family Papers now available

A pdf manuscript catalogue of the Natural History Museum's Wallace Family Archive has been added to the WCP's database of documents, with permission from the NHM's library. This catalogue lists and describes the c. 5000 Wallace-related documents purchased by the Museum in 2002 from Wallace's grandsons. These records have been available for several years via the NHM Archive's online catalogue (see http://www.nhm.ac.uk/research-curation/library/archives/catalogue/search.html and search for "wp*" in the FindingNo field),
but it is far easier to browse through them in the pdf catalogue. Note that since 2002 about 1000 additional documents have been kindly donated by the Wallace family, or purchased from them, and added to the NHM's Archive, but the records for these are not yet available for public viewing. The pdf catalogue can be downloaded by clicking HERE.
