About this work
Description
The papers in the Wellcome Library consist of an almost complete set of the written evidence to the Commission (copy "no. 3"), except for four pieces of evidence given in confidence and closed for 30 years after the date of the commission (these items are deposited in the Public Record Office).
Also included is a collection of relevant published papers and reports, including the "Todd Report" itself.

Arrangement
The collection has been divided into the following three sections:
A. The Published Report 1968
B. Written Evidence 1965-1967
B.1-6 General
B.7-32 Abstracts of evidence
B.33-306 Circulated evidence
C. Associated Reports and Publications 1944-1967
An alphabetical arrangement has been adopted for the main series of files in Section B., according to the list of written evidence in the appendix to the published report, rather than the original chronological order by date of submission of the evidence. However, original file references are also indicated in the list. These include the following abbreviations: MISC = Various abstracts of evidence; WE = Written evidence; P = Publications?; and H = Hospitals?
Acquisition note
These records were given to the library at Wellcome Collection by the Archivist of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in 1986. Prior to this their provenance is unknown although it is likely that they belonged to a member of the Commission (probably Josephine Barnes) who left them with the College.
The published report was transferred to the Library's archive collections from the Library's Modern Medicine Collection.
