The volumes in Section A were found among the papers of Dr Edgar Ashworth Underwood (1899-1980), Director of the Wellcome Institute, when his papers came to the Contemporary Medical Archives Centre (now Archives and Manuscripts, Wellcome Library) after Dr Underwood's death. They were found in a parcel addressed to Dr Underwood from MacNalty.
