Notes include: 'Seminar on Paramecium - Glasgow University, Jan 25th 1949', 'Paramecium genetics, with special reference to theories of cellular differentiation (Lecture at Kenyon College, Gambier, Ohio, March 6th 1952)', 'Genetics of the Protozoa - lecture to St Andrew's University Biological Society, Tuesday Feb 3rd 1953' and 'Antigen system of Paramecium - seminar at Oak Ridge, June 18th 1956' among others.

Also contains a page of handwritten notes by Beale titled 'Notes from Görtz (2002)' and a CD-R labelled 'Manuskript Görtz.'

Some articles are by Beale himself and collaborators; most of them are by people other than Beale and have presumably been collated as part of Beale's reading and research.

Many of the offprints are marked with Beale's signature; others are inscribed to Beale by the offprint's author.

Contains papers by Yvonne Capdeville, James Forney, Charles L. Leeck, John Preer and Bertina Rudman.

Contains copies of papers published by scientists based within the Protozoan Genetics Unit at the Institute of Animal Genetics, including J.K.C. Knowles, Margaret R. Mott, E. Olszewska, R.E. Sinden and Andy Tait.

Also includes letters to Beale from colleagues such as Akio Kitamura and Myrtle Schneller.

Also includes papers on Paramecium.

Also contains offprints by Yvonne Capdeville and collaborators, which have been separated out.
