Series K/PP67/B - Notes on lectures and notes on research, [1938-1948]

(Lectures, notes, research)

Notes on zoology lectures attended by Hanson, London and Cambridge, 1938-1948. Also notes relating to printed texts and to laboratory work. When Hanson became Demonstrator in Zoology in 1944 (and perhaps even earlier, when she was teaching assistant to Professor H. Munro Fox), she prepared full drafts for her own lectures, often extensively revising them year by year. She filed these drafts with her undergraduate notes on the subject so that all the material on a particular topic was kept together. These subjects are listed below with the titles that Hanson gave them; in many cases she noted the name of the lecturer(s) and these are also listed with the relevant topics. Each folder may contain one or more of the following types of material: undergraduate notes on lectures, on the literature, from laboratory practicals; laboratory drawings and instructions; lists of references; printed matter for distribution to students; lists of slides; drafts for her own lecture courses.

B.1-B.29 are presented in alphabetical order.

Hanson entered Bedford College in 1938, graduating with First Class Honours in Zoology in 1941. She worked as a research student in the Department of Zoology and held the post of Demonstrator, 1944-1948. (See item A/4, her application for this post, for details of her scholarships and career at Bedford up to 1944.) During the war the College was evacuated to Cambridge so that Hanson also had the opportunity of attending lectures by the members of the Zoology Department there.
