Archival Information
Archival history:
Immediate source of acquisition:
In 1977 Dr Christopher Giles of Stoke-on-Trent presented a collection of his father's books and papers to the Wellcome Institute Library. This collection was transferred to the Contemporary Medical Archives Centre in 1980 and found to consist mainly of printed books and reprints, which were therefore transferred to the relevant sections of the Library, leaving a small amount of 'archival' material.
