Notes

This section contains a series of files, organised on a subject basis, from Bowlby's filing cabinets which consist mainly of notes and comments on the works of other authors, abstracts, photocopies, reprints, etc, but also some of Bowlby's own thoughts and formulations. Files have been kept in their original groupings, under titles mainly taken from a list compiled while the items were still in their original location. These should be taken only as a rough guide to the contents of each group and there is often much overlap between sections. For ease of access to the material, an alphabetical index of these sub-headings is given below. Items H. 238-258 are files or odd sheets of notes which were not part of this main sequence of notes but were scattered throughout the collection. Those files containing only reprints, photocopies, etc, have been weeded from the series. Drafts of papers and lecture notes have also been removed and amalgamated with Sections F.3 and K.10. Bowlby's working titles for the files have been indicated in inverted commas and the major authors covered have been listed where possible, as Bowlby has often done himself on the file covers. Many files appear to have been compiled over a period of time and, therefore, rather than giving dates for the file itself, where Bowlby has given the date of the particular work from which the notes have been taken, this has also noted. The content of the files varies both in quantity of material (some contain only a few odd sheets) and in the amount of `original' comment they contain. Aggressive behaviour H.186-192.
