These bulk of these papers (items 1-60) were originally housed in the library of the Cambridge Physiological Laboratory.

Items 1-60 were deposited at the Wellcome Library as part of the archive of the Physiological Society in 1991. The bulk of that archive is held as SA/PHY but these papers were seen to form a distinct collection and were listed separately. Items 61-78 were deposited in the Wellcome Library in 1984 by Professor Verney's widow, to whom they had been returned by Ivan de Burgh Daly's son, de Burgh Daly having died suddenly while writing Verney's obituary for the Royal Society. They were previously assigned the reference GC/72.

Papers of Ernest Basil Verney, 1922-1966, including experimental notes and notebooks, 1921-1966; also lecture notes, correspondence, reports, reprints and press cuttings.

Whilst the papers were still in the Physiological Laboratory Library (see Custodial History) a catalogue was produced which links Verney's published papers with his notebooks and notes, gives detailed descriptions of the contents of files and notebooks and cross-references them. This catalogue is held as item 1 in this collection. To ensure that the information in this catalogue would still be of use it was decided to keep the original order and references of the papers as far as possible. These are given in Roman numerals in italics. For the most part this makes for a reasonable order, except for the contents of 'Box files 1-11' (37-47) and 'Box files A-K' (48-56) which are of a miscellaneous nature, including files of lecture notes, experimental notes and reprints. (N.B.: the microscope slides, lecture slides and brain sections listed in the catalogue were not amongst the material deposited in the Physiological Society archive and subsequently transferred to the Wellcome Library.)

The papers are available subject to the usual conditions of access to Archives and Manuscripts material, after the completion of a Reader's Undertaking.

Photocopies/photographs/microfilm are supplied for private research only at the Archivist's discretion. Please note that material may be unsuitable for copying on conservation grounds, and that photographs cannot be photocopied in any circumstances. Readers are restricted to 100 photocopies in twelve months. Researchers who wish to publish material must seek copyright permission from the copyright owner.
