A small number were collected in December 1981, and additional material was delivered in June 1982 by Dr J.H. Baron of the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG). A further delivery of papers by Mrs Hunt in April 1983 led to a revision of the list, and additions were made of material from Dr J L Hunt in May 1996 and a further deposit from the BSG in May 1998 (Accession 676), which necessitated the complete revision of references.

The first group of papers (Ref 1-16) consist of circulars, memoranda and reports, but there are also examples of clinical notes made by Hunt in his medical diaries as well as clinical charts. Little sorting of this section was necessary apart from the removal of a few duplicates.

A very miscellaneous group of papers, previously numbered 17-23, has been divided, so that personal and biographical material, including c.v., are Section B, correspondence is Section C, and the records of Hunt's involvement with international meetings of gastroenterologists, 1967-68, have been assigned to Section H with files on congresses which came in Accession 676.
