British Medical Association Manuscripts

Manuscripts from the collection of the British Medical Association, formerly held in the B.M.A. Library, Tavistock Square, London. The manuscripts were numbered and catalogued at the B.M.A., with two exceptions among these papers - however the numbering of surviving documents is not consecutive, so that the original collection must have contained at least 26 catalogued items and an unknown number of unrecorded acquisitions. Former B.M.A. MSS.1-6 (transferred at the same time as the manuscripts described here) are now GC/140; one fugitive B.M.A. manuscript was purchased separately and is now MS. 6881. The location of the remainder is not known. The contents mainly comprise transcripts of medical lectures and case notes.
