GB 0120 PP/ASP 1926-1988 Collection (fonds) 14 boxes and 2 outsize items Parkes , Sir , Alan Sterling , 1900-1990 , Knight , endocrinologist
Sir Alan Sterling Parkes was an endocrinologist and Fellow of the Royal Society. Parkes worked through an epoch-making era in reproductive biology.
These papers were given to the Contemporary Medical Archives Centre by Sir Alan Parkes and collected from his home in March 1985, August 1988, and June 1991.
Papers of Sir Alan Sterling Parkes, 1926-1988, with a particular bias to the diverse bodies (official, voluntary, and international) which which Parkes was involved through his interests in reproductive biology, endocrinology, scientific publishing, low-temperature biology, and global population issues (among others). There is a large selection of mostly identified photographs.
The papers were found in mostly good order within files/groups, although the overall arrangements was somewhat confused, presumably due to moves. In some cases, material had been removed from files for use in Parkes's memoirs or other writings and had to be reintegrated into the appropriate files.
Arranged as follows:
A. Correspondence: colleagues and general, 1935-1988
B. Publications by ASP, 1950s-80s
C. Official bodies, 1930-1970
D. British societies and organisations, 1938-1982
E. International Organisations, 1963-1978
F. Personalia, photographs and tapes
