Fish was born in Chard, Somerset and educated at Kingswood School and Manchester University (L.D.S. 1914; Ch.B. 1916; M.D. 1924). He was a leading figure in British dentistry. He was Chairman of the Dental Board, 1944-1956, Dean of the Faculty of Dental Science of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, 1956-1959, and President of the General Dental Council, 1956-1964. Fish was knighted in 1954.

Received for cataloguing in 1976 by the Contemporary Scientific Archives Centre from Professor Bertram Cohen.

Placed in the Royal College of Surgeons Library in 1977.

The papers include publications, some in manuscript or draft, biographical material, material relating to committees and organisations (British Society of Periodontology, Nuffield Foundation), and correspondence. Very little remains of Fish's professional research material. Fish had worked carefully through his papers after his retirement, and many items bear lengthy comments and evaluations, personal recollections of his career and colleagues, and reflections on the state of dental health.

By section as follows: Biographical and personal, Committees, societies and organisations, Correspondence, Publications and lectures. Index of correspondents.

Open to bona fide researchers by written appointment.
