    Ref:GB 133 Dalton Mss
    Location:University of Manchester Library
    Name of creator:
    Dalton John (1766-1844) Chemist and natural philosopher.
    Extent:approx 20 li.m. 133 items Condition: Many of the items are damaged and incomplete due to the effects of fire following enemy action on 24 December 1940, which destroyed the headquarters of the Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society. A number of items are charred, and in some cases, parts of the document have been destroyed or rendered illegible by fire. The papers were subject to major conservation work in 1990-1991 when the papers were deacidified, and some papers were overlaid with fine tissue paper to strengthen them. Most documents were then encapsulated in plastic wallets and placed in new folders. Where the catalogue refers to sheets, this means the polyester container sheets, not the documents
