Correspondence about the Society for Freedom in Science, which Baker cofounded with M. Polanyi, does not form part of the present deposit. PRESENTATION The material has been sectionalised to follow the sequence of the catalogue compiled in 1979 (CSAC 69/7/79) with Section D (Research and publications) in the present catalogue replacing Section D (Publication) in the earlier catalogue. DESCRIPTION material in family hands. (correspondence, notes and drafts, and background material) respecting research under- taken towards the end of Baker's life on the humane killing of crustacea. Section E, the most substantial in the supplementary catalogue, also reflects In Section D includes a sequence of notebooks covering Baker's undergraduate and research careers and reflecting his interests in microscopy, chemical contraception and scientific biography. There is also a major accumulation of more varied material interests on which Baker concentrated in his last years - anthropology and race. particular it contains very considerable documentation (drafts, correspondence with publishers and colleagues) for Baker's book Race, published by the Oxford University Press in 1974. Section G is a very small biographical section, also principally photocopies of Much is in the form of photocopies, the originals being retained by Baker's family. Section F contains what survives of Baker's general scientific correspondence. N.B. £.50-E.52, the autograph ms. of chapter 23, was formerly D.1 in the earlier catalogue (CSAC 69/7/79). J.R.

J.R. Baker (Supplement) CSAC 114/5/86 SECTION E ANTHROPOLOGY AND RACE E.1 - £.193 INTRODUCTION TO SECTION E Baker's anthropological interests were first manifested in an article on Cromagnon man published in Endeavour in 1968 but his major contribution to the subject was his mono- graph Race published by the Oxford University Press in 1974. This large book of 625 pages appeared after long gestation and many difficulties with prospective publishers. The authors of the Royal Society Memoir of Baker (Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society, 31, 1985) identify the origins of Race in questions raised by its author's contacts with the peoples of the New Hebrides on his visits there in the 1920s and 1930s (Memoir, \p.54), Baker in his own notes on ‘how | came to write the book' (E.174) states that in the 1950s he was collecting information 'on physical differences between races, and on the question whether inborn mental differences might exist' and refers to visits to Uganda in 1957 and 1964, South Africa in 1961 and Rhodesia in 1962. In the present collection of Baker's papers there is no material bearing on the eventual book before 1960. In a letter to the publishers, Allen & Unwin, of December 1961 (E.55), Baker gave notice that he was to apply for sabbatical leave to devote seven months to a study of racial equality, and to writing on the subject. | He hoped to have a manu- at that point entitled 'The equality or inequality of human races'. Allen & Unwin subject in October 1962. It was not however until November 1966 that he announced the completion of the manuscript of a first introductory volume of his book on race - script ready for Allen & Unwin by early 1963 and began writing consecutively on his before the projected work on race was accepted by the Delegates of the Oxford Uni- rejected the manuscript, as did a succession of publishers on both sides of the Atlantic own version of the events leading to the OUP's commissioning him to complete his manu- script on race and the important part played in this by a favourable report from P.B. Medawar es In the words of The Royal Society Memoir, Race 'received very mixed treatment and versity Press in April 1969. In a letter to Methuen of 5 July 1971, Baker gives his The publication of Baker's book on race (now called simply Race) was delayed until 1974 - in part by Baker's considerable expansion of the original manuscript. J.R. Baker (Supplement) CSAC 114/5/86 Anthropology and race was a source of great disappointment to its author’. Baker was particularly unhappy with the reception of the book in the USA and its slow sale there, which he attributed in part to a conspiracy of silence on the part of the media and in part toa lack of support from the OUP in New York. He was very pleased to cooperate with a German publisher in bringing out a shortened version of Race but disappointed by the refusal of the OUP to countenance a shortened version or paperback edition in English. Towards the end of his life Baker secured the rights of Race from the OUP to facilitate its re- publication in America by a smaller publisher, Foundation for Human Understanding, Athens, Georgia.
