Professional and personal papers of Doug Clark and his wife Jean Clark. The majority - correspondence, research and records from professional associations - relate to Doug Clark's work on arachnids at the British Museum (Natural History) from the mid-1950s until his death in 1971. There are records from after this date as his wife, Jean, continued correspondence, collecting articles and published Doug's work posthumously. There are more general employment records from the Army and Civil Service as well as photographs (of people and spiders) and personal papers, mainly correspondence and newspaper cuttings.
Jean Clark was also employed by the British Museum (Natural History) and published articles in her own right and therefore her records - academic articles, correspondence and collected momentos - also form a small part of this collection.
