Smith CSAC 91/2/83 GENERAL INTRODUCTION PROVENANCE The major part of the material was received from Mr. M.T. Smith (son) via the Natural Environment Research Council Institute of Virology, Oxford. Items A.8 - A.14 were received from Dr. B. Kassanis, author of the Memoir of Smith for the Royal Sociery (Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society, 28, 1982), a copy of which is included at A.1. DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLECTION Smith lived to a great age, and was prolific in writing and research to the end of a life devoted to his chosen field of plant and insect viruses. The surviving material offers only a partial picture of his career. Little personal or biographical material remains, though it is not generally known that in cultural Research Institute, New Delhi (see A.3). Smith's own research is quite well documented in Section B, and his research reports, plans and annual schemes of work at different dates are of interest (see B.5, B.8, B.23, B.28). He is known at E.3, E.4, and some sample captions at B.29. are at C.1 - C.13. The shorter articles and reviews at C.14 - C.72 are all continuing work of his seventies and eighties and also his own scrapbook of reviews, Smith wrote many books, several of which became standard textbooks regularly reprinted or updated for new editions.

Furthermore, Smith's sustained active interest in virus research during his retirement was matched by continuing authorship, his last book Introduction to Virology, written partly in collaboration, appearing in 1980 when he was eighty- seven. The surviving manuscript material, which does not necessarily document all Smith's books, varies in content from research correspondence and drafts to corres- pondence with publishers. It is presented in chronological order of publication. In aGay +, i3.
