MS.7625: nos. 4-7 transferred to Library holdings from the 1947 Wellcome Historical Medical Museum anaesthesia exhibition, original provenance not recorded. nos. 9-10, and presumably nos. 1 and 3 also, purchased from Charavay, Paris, May 1932. nos. 12-13 presented by Dr. W.G.H. Leslie of Australia, a descendant of Hickman, July 1967 and nos. 14-16 probably presented by Dr. W.D.A. [Dennis] Smith of Leeds University in 1976 (apparently neither batch of material was accessioned formally). The originals of MSS.8506-8507 belong to Dr Leslie amd were lent to Dr Smith who supplied the Institute with copies (with Dr. Leslie's permission) in 1977; no formal accession details were recorded.

The papers are available subject to the usual conditions of access to Archives and Manuscripts material, after the completion of a Reader's Undertaking.
Photocopies/photographs/microfilm are supplied for private research only at the Archivist's discretion. Please note that material may be unsuitable for copying on conservation grounds, and that photographs cannot be photocopied in any circumstances.

Described in Richard Aspin and Christopher Hilton's typescript supplement to S.A.J Moorat's Catalogue of Western Manuscripts.
In the Wellcome Library: The Wellcome Archives (WA) document the "rediscovery" of Hickman's work and the exhibition on him held at the Wellcome Historical Medical Museum in 1930 (WA/HMM/EX/B). MS.6105, a notebook kept by John Lechmere, a half-pay naval officer living at Hereford, records a visit to Hickman in 1822. See MSS.7984-7986, 8124, 8149-8151, 8312-8315, 8348, 8442-8443, 8530, 8534 and 8573-8574 for more material relating to the medical historian and librarian Charles John Samuel Thompson (1862-1943) who was heavily involved in the rediscovery of Hickman's work. The papers of the anaesthetist Sir Robert Macintosh (PP/RRM) include material on the history of anaesthesia and contain a file on Hickman (PP/RRM/E.5/4).
