THE BRITISH PHRENOLOGICAL SOCIETY ARCHIVES Catalogue Compiled by Dr Kees Rookmaaker Project Archivist April 2005 2 INTRODUCTION The collection of papers relating to The British Phrenological Society, were presented to the University of Cambridge in several boxes labelled: Phrenology books & notebooks, the property of Miss Frances Hedderly. Delivered to us by Chris Nagle on the 25th July 1998. The label on another box reads: Everything you never wanted to know about the Phrenological Society, courtesy of Frances Hedderly (even photographs of the old dear) and brought to us by Chris Nagle on the 25th July 1998. The British Phrenological Society, Inc. was started in 1886 and went into voluntary liquidation on 23 February 1967. Frances Hedderly was the Secretary of the Society for over ten years. She was busy with the correspondence of the Society, providing Phrenological Analyses when requested, and giving lectures and writing papers. The contents of this archive provide a worthy insight in her labours, expecially since about 1950. The contents are listed according to the 10 boxes and files in which they are now stored. In four Appendices, the following information is summarized; (1) Contents of the Newsletter of The British Phrenological Society, Inc.
