Hunterian Museum records. Several hundred documents, including some bound volumes, relating to William Hunter’s museum and library. Under the terms of his will, Hunter's collections of books, manuscripts, coins, medals, paintings, shells, minerals, and anatomical and natural history specimens were bequeathed to the University of Glasgow, but retained in London until 1807 for the use of his nephew Matthew Baillie (1761-1823). These records include catalogues compiled by Hunter himself and those by his immediate trustees - George Fordyce, David Pitcairn and Charles Combe - recording what was handed over to Baillie in 1783. But the majority of the records deal with the administration of Hunter’s collections after their arrival in Glasgow in 1807 until 1945 - later catalogues, minutes of meetings of the trustees, lists of visitors, correspondence relating to the collections and donations of additional material. Unpublished typescript catalogue.
