Archival history
The photographs and slides have been grouped together because many of the images, for example of the buildings, have common relevance to several or all the bodies, and it is not always clear which body generated them originally. Indeed, some of them may have been produced as an exercise to illustrate the work of the Wellcome bodies as a whole, and not intended to serve one body in particular. As they had been removed, at same point, from their original archival context, their exact provenance and purpose has been lost.
