The Pickett-Thomson Laboratory was established at St Paul's Hospital, Endell Street, London, in 1922, with David Thomson as Director and Sir Ronald Ross as its President. It produced 10 volumes of 'Annals', 1924-1934, recording its work on bacteria and other microorganisms using the techniques of microphotography. Some of the papers published in these volumes deal with the same subject as this manuscript but it does not appear to have been published in exactly the same form; also, it incorporates an account by Thomson of his career prior to the inauguration of the Pickett-Thomson Laboratory and his earlier work in microphotography.

Transferred to the Contemporary Medical Archives Centre in 1997 by the Modern Modern Collection, Wellcome Institute Library. Probably received along with Annals of the Pickett-Thomson Research Laboratory, formerly in the Library of the Sanitary Institute, from the Royal Society of Health.

Manuscript by David Thomson, 'Photographic Researches on the Bacteriology of the Respiratory Tract in Health and also during Colds and Influenza', copiously illustrated with microphotographs, [c 1930s].
