About this work

Description

This is not an extensive collection of correspondence as Renwick kept the bulk of his scientific correspondence with the research to which it related, and it is consequently to be found in section UGC 155/3. With the exception of the correspondence with Professor Lowell R Weitkamp there are no extended exchanges of letters. Other correspondents represented by more than the individual letter include Professor Edmund Anthony Murphy, Dr Ruth Ann Sanger, and Professor Cedric Austen Bardell Smith. There are also references and recommendations.

This description is part of the main James Harrison Renwick collection which has been divided into the following sections, each with its own separate description:

  • UGC 155/1, biographical material;
  • UGC 155/2, University of Glasgow material;
  • UGC 155/3, research material;
  • UGC 155/4, publications;
  • UGC 155/5, material relating to lectures and conferences;
  • UGC 155/6, material relating to societies and organisations;
  • UGC 155/7, correspondence files.
