About this work
Description
This group of materials includes, most significantly, Haggis's notes for and t.s. of his biography of Wellcome. Other material in the group is mostly of an ephemeral nature, collected after HSW's death.
AW Haggis, 'The Life and Work of Sir Henry Wellcome' 1939-1944 - Haggis, a member of the HMM staff, was commissioned by the Trustees in 1939 to write a biography of HSW. However, the Trustees were dissatisfied with the final draft of 1942, and the biography was never published. These papers includes his research notes, draft and final versions of the biography which was illustrated with photographs.
