It may be of interest to you (and indeed other members
of the list) to learn (if you do not already know)
that the very large collection of John Bowlby's papers
is held by Archives and Manuscripts, the Wellcome
Library for the History and Understanding of Medicine.
Most of it (inc the attachment work) is catalogued
(108 boxes) though some additional material received
at a later date to the original accession has not yet
been incorporated. It includes notes, drafts,
correspondence, etc relating to his writings. If you
are interested please could you contact me at the
Wellcome, [log in to unmask], rather than at this
address.
