About this work
Description
These cover trips made by Browne representing or commissioned by various leprosy organisations. They form day-to-day accounts of his activities, personal and work related, on each visit, notably including details of the itinerary, the visits, talk, seminar, lecture, etc., opinions on conferences and papers given, comments on scenery and other thoughts. The books often also contain loose papers such as schedules, invitations, notes, letters, notices, notes from Mali, leaflets, tourist brochures, maps, programmes of service, local church newsletters, ephemera such as airline tickets, and occasionally photographs and postcards. On some trips he was accompanied by Mali.
The notebooks are chronological and sometimes cover several countries. They can be consulted in conjunction with the files on foreign visit, H.6, which are arranged by country.
Some personal letters from Mali originally in the notebooks have been extracted and placed with the correspondence in Section A.
