Fonds NRSF - Records of the National Reye's Syndrome Foundation of the United Kingdom

48 boxes

This collection consists of the records of the National Reye's Syndrome Foundation (NRSF). It includes the papers of the founders of the charity, Audrey and Clifford Harrington, alongside records of Gordon Denney, and the papers of Dr Susan Hall.

The records predominantly relate to the administration of the charity, including records relating to the AGM, finances, publicity and Trustees of the NRSF. The collection includes a large amount of correspondence, particularly between parents of children affected by Reye's syndrome, clinicians, and the NRSF.

Records relating to the life of Gordon Denney provide an overview of the history and the achievements of the charity. The papers of Dr Susan Hall primarily relate to research on Reye's syndrome. To supplement the collection, a number of textbooks and research articles collected by the NRSF which directly relate to Reye's syndrome, aspirin use, and childhood illnesses are included.

Duplicate, routine administrative materials, and materials unrelated to the core work of the charity have been removed from the collection.

The collection has been arranged into ten series representing the main activities of the charity, alongside the papers of Dr Susan Hall. The original order of the material in subject files has largely been maintained, where this has not been possible this has been indicated at file level.

Material under 20 years old is not routinely accessible to members of the public, although access may be granted under some circumstances and users are advised to make an application to access this material. Restrictions may apply to information about living, identifiable individuals under the Data Protection Act 1998. Appointments to view the material may be made by contacting the College by email to information.governance@rcpch.ac.uk.
