Scope and Contents

During the move of the RZSS collection from Edinburgh Zoo to the University of Edinburgh, a collection of copy letter books were discovered containing outgoing correspondence from RZSS director, Thomas Gillespie.

This is an incomplete run of letters. Other copy letter folders may be found in the future, however many of these letters could have been historically destroyed.
