GB 0117 MC 1800-1925 Collection (fonds) 13,117 letter in total, in 17 volumes and 25 boxes. Various

Letters sent to the Royal Society, usually Officers or Assistant Secretaries.

Original of letters sent to the Royal Society, generally on official business, and usually to Officers or Assistant Secretaries. The collection is effectively in two parts; letters for the period 1800-1899 are bound as 17 volumes; those for 1903-1925 are held unbound in boxes. The full sequence forms a single chronological archive with only occasional gaps, the most notable being the complete absence of the years 1900-1902 and 1920. From 1885, the series may be used in conjunction with the New Letter Books, which contain the corresponding outgoing letters.
