Williamson was in general practice at Ventnor until his death at the age of 52. He was Honorary Surgeon to the Royal National Hospital for Consumption at Ventnor, and Honorary Medical Officer to the convalescent home at Bonchurch, Isle of Wight, attached to the Royal Hampshire County Hospital.

Presented to the Wellcome Institute Library by the Royal College of General Practitioners, October 1997. Originally donated to the Royal College by Mrs. Betty Williamson.

Medical case registers with numerous inserted letters and notes.

MSS. 7502-7509 and 7511 form one chronological sequence, documenting cases from Williamson's general practice. 1883-1901.

MS. 7510 consists chiefly of patients from Winchester and other localities in Hampshire and seems to document work for the Bonchurch convalescent home. 1895-1897.

MSS. 7512-7513 consist of patients with tuberculosis and other diseases affecting the lungs, and presumably document work at the Royal National Hospital for Consumption. 1899-1900.

MS. 7514 documents child cases at the Grange convalescent home, sent from a variety of London hospitals (Evelina Hospital providing most cases; also Great Ormond Street, Belgrave, St. Bartholomew's, London and East London Hospitals). 1897-1899.

Numerous papers are inserted, either bound in between numbered folios or loose: these comprise temperature charts, correspondence, cuttings, photographs and so forth.

As outlined in Scope and Content. Alphabetical index leaves at the start of each volume list both diseases and patients' names (these leaves have been ascribed Roman numerals), followed by numbered folios on which cases are described.

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