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.

They were presumably received there in 1988 along with a gift of books to the Unit by Sir Arthur MacNalty's daughter. From such items as are dated, Sir Arthur appears to have been working on this during the 1960s. Acc 26 (part) received 08/05/1980, acc 650 04/07/1996.
