GENERAL INTRODUCTION
PROVENANCE
The papers were received from Professor Chibnall's
widow, Dr Marjorie Chibnall FBA, in September 1991.
OUTLINE OF THE CAREER OF A
C CHIBNALL
Albert Charles Chibnall, an outstanding figure in
British biochemistry, was born in London on 28 January 1894.
Educated at St Paul's School, 1907-12, and Clare College Cambridge,
such that Chibnall continued to turn to him for advice until his
death in 1929.
Osborne's research assistant, and Chibnall's
contemporary, H
B Vickery, became a lifelong friend.
In 1938

B Schryver, Professor of Plant —
Service Corps, transferring to the Royal Flying Corps in 1917.

Here he worked in the laboratory
of green leaves.

at University College London, initially supported by the Department

Chibnall returned to New Haven to deliver Yale University's Silliman

C Drummond's biochemical laboratory

of Scientific and Industrial Research.
After a period of
uncertainty when DSIR support ended suddenly in 1926, Imperial
Chemical Industries stepped in to support his research at UCL
and this support continued when Chibnall returned to Imperial
College in 1929 as Professor of Biochemistry in succession to
Schryver.
With ICI support he was able to embark on a substantial
programme of research in plant biochemistry as the acknowledged
leader in the field, specialising in fatty and nitrogenous
substances of leaves and the chemical structure of proteins.
It was during this period that Chibnall collaborated with the
Bristol physicist S
H Piper on the chemistry of plant and insect
waxes.
Another significant collaboration was between Chibnall's
laboratory and that of WT Astbury at Leeds University.
Their
mutual interest in plant protein fibres led to an investigation
of possible commercial production by ICI.

Chibnall's later years were largely devoted to historical
studies and

DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLECTION
The material is presented in the order given in the
List of Contents.
The collection includes significant biographical
material and records of Chibnall's research, lectures and publications,
societies and organisations, and visits and conferences.
Chibnall's
general scientific correspondence is particularly extensive and
important.
Section A,
Biographical and autobiographical, is
especially noteworthy for the five volumes of unfinished family
and personal history.
There is also documentation of Chibnall's
relating to the Sir William Dunn Professorship in 1943.
Section B, Research, comprises seven binders of notes
to plant-protein fibres research, 1935-41, and insulin research
1951-58.
*
Section C,
Lectures and publications, includes material
First World War service including photographs, and correspondence
covering the period 1925-37, and correspondence and papers relating
relating to Chibnall's Silliman Lectures at Yale University in 1938 and the

Section D,
Societies and organisations, includes records
of Chibnall's work for the Agricultural Research Council.
Particularly
well documented are the wartime reports he
prepared on the direct use
of leaf protein in human nutrition and protein supplies for forage.
There is
a little correspondence with Lord Rothschild and W
K Slater,
Chairman and Secretary of the ARC, respectively, and reports of a
number of visits to ARC research centres.
The International Union of
Biochemistry is represented by correspondence and papers relating to
its formation including documents circulated by C
R Harington, Chairman
of the International Committee established at the First International
Congress of Biochemistry in 1949.
There is also documentation of a
further wartime report prepared by Chibnall, on human protein
requirements and supplies, for the Scientific Committee on Food Policy
of the War Cabinet.
