MSS,

These MSS were donated to the National Library in 1968 by Dr W. D. V. Jones, son of the late Prof. Jones (1878-1967). They came to the National Library via the librarian of the Sedgwick Museum, Cambridge, where they had lain since Prof. Jones retired from the Woodwardian Chair in 1943, with the comment that they were 'the residue of things he [OTJ] did not wish to remove'. It will be understood therefore that these papers represent, in general, activities and interests of Prof. Jones that he left behind, or had left behind, in 1943. Reference will be made below (in the form: Bibl., year of publication) to the bibliography appended to the memoir of OTJ by W. J. Pugh, published in Biographical memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society, vol. 13, Nov. 1967. Arranged into student notes (MSS 1-4), university lecture courses, Aberystwyth and Manchester (MSS 5-10), university lecture courses, Cambridge (MSS 11-18), occasional lectures, addresses (MSS 19-29), research material (MSS 30-70), personal papers and correspondence (MSS 71-82), miscellaneous (MSS 82-92), supplement to list (1970) (MS 93), and additional donation (2000) (MSS 94-100). Unless otherwise indicated, it should be assumed that all items are in the hand of O. T. Jones.
