GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO THE COULSON PAPERS
PROVENANCE
The papers were received from Mrs. Eileen Coulson (widow) who had
assembled them from CAC's Department, his study at home and other sources.
They deal primarily with CAC's own career from about 1930 to his
death in 1974, but include some earlier material relating to the Coulson family,
especially Alfred Coulson, CAC's father (earliest date 1905);
there is also
reference to posthumously~published scientific papers by CAC, to obituaries
and tributes, and to a collection of his lectures scheduled for publication in
1978.
Before handing on the collection, Mrs. Coulson, assisted by Miss
R. Schwerdt (CAC's secretary), Dr. W.E. Duncanson and other advisers, had
perused the papers and placed them in numbered folders and boxes;
'RS' and 'WED' appear on many of the folders.
sensitive was removed and transferred by Mrs. Coulson as a separate collection
to the Bodleian Library, where it will remain under restriction until 2004.
Correspondence was segregated into separate sections (C and G, see notes on
pp. 134-135, 242) according to the degree of scientific detail it contained, anda
full list of CAC's book reviews was compiled by Mrs. Coulson (Box D.9); the

The collection, when received, was therefore already partly sorted,
numbered and boxed, and this seriously curtailed the degree of flexibility of
treatment which it could subsequently bear.

CONTENT
The sections into which the material is divided are listed on p.1-2
and each section is accompanied by a note on the principal features and interest.
An account of CAC's scientific achievements, particularly in relation
to molecular structure and bonding, is given in the Memoir by S.L. Altmann
and E.J. Bowen FRS (Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society,
20, 1974, 73-134) to which reference should be made and a copy of which is
included in A.14.2.

Even so, he was prodigal in the causes he undertook and the energy

Major writing or lecturing commitments were preceded by a culling of material -
quotations, press-cuttings, statistics, etc., many annotated - which has its
own interest in providing a tour d'horizon of a topic at a particular time.
The working papers, calculations and correspondence, particularly in
Section B, help to provide a picture of the development of theoretical chemistry
as a subject of scientific research and as an academic discipline with which
CAC was closely involved from about 1930 until his death in 1974.

himself aware also of the importance of lecture notes and drafts as a source of
historical information on teaching methods, curriculum development and the spread
of new ideas from the frontiers of research through the various strata of the
education system; hence his preservation of his notes taken as an undergraduate

of his own lectures and talks.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The catalogue of the Coulson papers has been a collective labour and
we are very grateful to the following individuals:
to Mrs. E. Coulson, Miss R. Schwerdt, Dr. R.B. Mallion, Dr. W.E.
Duncanson and Dr. S.L. Altmann for their initial work in ordering the papers
and for information and advice during the later stages of preparing the handlist
for publication;
to the Department of Western Manuscripts of the Bodleian Library for
making available space in the stack in which to work on the collection and
for advice on its arrangements and presentation;
to Mrs. M.M. Edwards for careful and accurate typing, and immense
patience with successive drafts and emendations of the handlist.

SECTION A
BIOGRAPHICAL AND PERSONAL
20 BOXES
Although the boxes in this Section contain the major part of the
biographical material, many folders in the other Sections also include
biographical and personal information.
This arises in part from CAC's
distinctive correspondence style but principally from his deliberate mingling
of scientific, religious and personal interest throughout his career.
The
most strfking
of these references are indicated and cross-referenced in the
handlist.
Other biographical material, photographs and correspondence
remain in family hands.
Since the documents were received and processed piecemeal (see
under PROVENANCE in the General Introduction), accurate chronological
as fully as possible.
There is an explanatory note on Boxes A.5- A.11
or subject order could not be maintained, but cross-references are given

Correspondence with University Library, Cambridge,
re CAC's notes of lectures attended by him as an
undergraduate and graduate 1931-33, and deposited
by him in the Library 1970 and 1972.
The notes, ‘about 2 feet or a few inches more', are
of lectures by 'J.J. Thomson, Rutherford, Besicovitch,
Sir Harold Jeffreys, Eddington, $. Chandrasekhar,
R.H. Fowler, Blackett, Cockcroft and others', des-
cribed by CAC as 'the greatest collection of physicists
ever to be in the same laboratory at the same time ...
To work in the Cavendish at that time was almost
overwhelming’.
CAC later (1972) added his notes on 'the first set of
lectures ever given in this country on quantum
chemistry’! by Lennard-Jones in Cambridge in 1933.
He also gave various reminiscences of lecturers and
their methods, and an account of his own painstaking
system of note-taking and writing up of material.

SCIENTIFIC WORKING PAPERS, LECTURES,
PUBLICATIONS
The material may be divided very roughly as follows:
Boxes B.1 - B.27:
scientific lectures, talks, addresses, broadcasts,
publications
Boxes B.28 - B.43: research notes, working papers, publications.
The content of the folders throughout this Section varies from short
manuscript notes for research projects or an informal talk to a fully~prepared
lecture or scientific paper complete with its working notes, background
or supplementary research material, drafts, scientific or editorial corres-
pondence and a copy or reprint of the published text.
Many of the
folders bear, on the inside cover, CAC's list of the places or occasions
at which the talk was delivered.
similar items elsewhere in the collection.
The list below contains, as far as possible, an indication of the
extent and date of the material in each folder and cross-references to
Box B.15 is interesting in showing the way in which CAC conceived
and developed ideas for research problems for himself, his collaborators
and his teams of research students;

is dealt with, a reference to the Royal Society Memoir is given in the form
