Astbury (son), Fru M.M. Persson (daughter), and the Astbury Department of Biophysics, University of Leeds. Dr. Thomas Lonsdale has also contributed his recollections of Astbury's early work, and a photograph (Item A.6). Some scientific correspondence exchanged with Astbury 1933-40 remains in the personal papers of Professor C.D. Darlington FRS. The collection illustrates all aspects of Astbury's activities, with the exception of his work at the Royal Institution and earliest work at Leeds. The bulk of the documenis represent the extensive scientific correspondence which he conducted - often single-handed in the absence of secretarial help, as the letters themselves make clear - with individual colleagues and learned societies, especially 1940-57. No records can be traced for the following periods: 1947 (all); 1949 (January~July), but the surviving letters, research plans and progress reports help to document the rapid progress of research in protein structure and nucleic acids during and after the 1939-45 War. All the documents have been re-sorted and one year. p-16. Section F. Conferences), industrial firms, or individual correspondents.
