The collection includes items relating to Haddon’s life and expeditions, as well as lecture notes, professional correspondence, and a large collection of offprints. The FHYA selection of the Haddon papers focuses on material about Haddon and his involvement in the 1905 Natal leg of the British Association for the Advancement of Science tour of southern Africa. The FHYA ordered this material according to the arrangement set out by the CUL whereby each series is named ‘Haddon Papers’ followed by an identifying number demarcating different sets of material. Within these series, there are ‘files’, in which ‘items’ are housed.]
