Thomas Hodgkin MD, and Hodgkin and Howard Families: microfilms

Letters and papers by or relating to Thomas Hodgkin MD (1798-1865) and his extended family, including his brother John Hodgkin junior (1800-1875) and the latter's father-in-law Luke Howard (1772-1864).

The microfilm was prepared by Drs Amalie M. Kass and Edward H. Kass, Thomas Hodgkin's biographers. At the time of copying, these documents were held by the Hodgkin family.

Subsequently the family presented a large amount of material to the Wellcome Library (collection PP/HO) which probably includes all the documents on these films (it has not been practicable to work through the films checking every item); however, an item's presence on these microfilms should not be taken to indicate that it is necessarily held at the Wellcome Library. All Hodgkin papers presented to the Library have been reordered and numbered; they cannot, therefore, be ordered using these microfilms as a guide but should always be sought via the catalogue to the collection.

At Wellcome Collection:

The papers of the Hodgkin and Howard families (PP/HO) contain much material on the individuals documented here, over and above the items reproduced in this collection.
