Diaries of Edwin Maybury, zoology student at the University of Edinburgh
Scope and Contents
This fonds consists of five diaries written by Edwin Maybury of Nuneaton, Warwickshire covering the time period 1947-1951, when he was a student at the University of Edinburgh reading zoology. In his diaries, Edwin writes introspectively about himself, talks about his daily life as a student in Edinburgh, and records his experience of different lectures and practical courses. For example, in his 1947 diary he mentions on p. 291 a lecture he attended given by "Dr Auerbach", that is to say Dr Charlotte Auerbach, then Lecturer in genetics at the University.
Also includes a time log covering the years 1948-1949.
