Royal Greenwich Observatory, 1972 - 1979
Scope and Contents
The collection is comprised of papers accumulated by F. Graham Smith during his time at the Royal Greenwich Observatory. There is a long series of items regarding the restructuring of the R.G.O. in the early 1970s, and a further set of papers covering different aspects of the Observatory's affairs. The remaining papers are comprised of collected items concerning the Science Research Council, Anglo-Australian Telescope Board, European Science Foundation Astronomy Committee and Joint Organization for Solar Observations, and a small set of written pieces by various individuals. Although the collection includes papers written by F. Graham Smith, much of the material is by other authors.
