Dear Colleagues,

I'm passing on this request about the firm of publishers H. F. & G. Witherby, based in London and specializing in bird books.  They published ‘The handbook of British Birds’ by H. F. Witherby in 1943. My contact is interested in tracing the whereabouts of any archives belonging to the firm, which was dissolved in 1995. Also, does anybody know any biographical sources for the author himself?

Considering the relatively recent demise of the firm, it's quite possible that there are people about who were employees. Does anybody perhaps have such contacts?

Many thanks,

Ray Williams
