FOREWORD
The catalogue contains narrative descriptions and detailed indexing of the papers of
Sir Alexander Fleming, an eminent bacteriologist and discoverer of penicillin. The
papers consist of correspondence, journals, scientific notebooks, publications,
lectures, speeches and miscellaneous papers for the period 1907-1957. The papers
also include memoranda and biographical material compiled by André Maurois, who
wrote the biography The Life of Sir Alexander Fleming published in 1959. The papers
were donated to the Library by Lady Amalia Fleming on 12 June 1965.
For other papers relating to penicillin see Add. 71717. See also R.C. Shipton, A
bibliography of Sir Alexander Fleming (circa 1993).
The British Library is very grateful to the Wellcome Trust for the grant that has
allowed for the papers to be catalogued and enabled the conservation of the scientific
notebooks. I would also like to thank Kevin Brown, St Mary’s Trust Archivist and
Curator of the Alexander Fleming Laboratory Museum for allowing me to tap into his
vast knowledge of Fleming and allowing me to use the St. Mary’s archives. I would
also like to thank Jeremy John and Rachel Stockdale for their expertise and support
throughout during this project.

INTRODUCTION
When Sir Alexander Fleming died in 1955, responsibility for his papers fell to his
wife Lady Amalia Fleming. She chose to donate his papers to various institutions all
over the world, including Greece and America. On 12 June 1965 she donated a
portion of his papers to the British Library.
The Papers comprise one hundred and twenty volumes, of correspondence, journals,
publications, lectures, speeches, miscellaneous material, biographical material, his
scientific notebooks and those of three of his colleagues. The content of the papers
focus on both his work and his travels.
Much has been written about Fleming and penicillin, from biographies to children’s
books. Fleming contributed to many publications during his lifetime and in 1946 he
edited Penicillin: Its Practical Implications, which ran for many editions. Other
publications include The birth of Penicillin by Ronald Hare, a colleague of Fleming’s.
Many biographies have also been written about Fleming. During his lifetime
Lawrence J. Ludovici in 1959 published the unauthorised Fleming: Discoverer of
Penicillin. In 1985 Gwyn Macfarlane wrote Alexander Fleming: The Man and the
Myth and more recently Kevin Brown’s Penicillin Man: Alexander Fleming the Man
and the Myth. It is also important not to forget André Maurois the French biographer
who was employed by Amalia Fleming to write The Life of Sir Alexander Fleming in
1959. Some of his papers from this are included the collection
Fleming was born in Lochfield, near Darvel in Ayrshire, Scotland on 6 August 1881.
After receiving schooling in Scotland, Fleming moved to London in 1897 and started
his working life as a clerk for ‘The American Line’, a shipping company. After
inheriting £250 in 1901 Fleming was able to undertake medical training at St. Mary’s
Hospital, Paddington, qualifying with a distinction in 1906. Throughout his medical
career he never left St. Mary’s. Fleming married Sarah Marion McElroy (who later
changed her name to Sareen), a nurse from Ireland in 1915 and they had one son
Robert. Sareen died in 1949 and he married Dr Amalia Koustouri-Voureka a Greek
bacteriologist and colleague from St. Mary’s in 1953. Fleming died of a coronary
thrombosis on 11 March 1955.
Fleming’s scientific career spanned a fifty year period. After initial plans to become a
surgeon, Fleming’s first post was as a research assistant in the then Inoculation
Department under the leadership of Sir Almroth Wright. In 1919 he became Assistant
Director and in 1947 after the death of Wright, Fleming became Director of the newly
named Wright Fleming Institute, eventually retiring from this post in 1955. During
his professional career Fleming most notably carried out work on antiseptics and
wounds, proteus vulgaris, discovered lysozyme and of course discovered penicillin.
Due to the discovery of penicillin Fleming also became a celebrity and in 1945 started
his official public career. He travelled all over the world collecting awards, honorary
degrees, making speeches and giving lectures. He received more than seventy awards
and honours during his life time, including the Nobel Prize for Physiology and
Medicine, Freedom of the Burgh of Darvel and the Gold Medal of the Royal Society
of Medicine.
In the present catalogue all volumes have been described as a fully as possible, apart
from the notebooks. Due to their number and volume of work contained, a decision
was made to divide the contents where possible into sections of identifiable work.
This is indicated by the word ‘includes’ in the catalogue.

C. NOTEBOOKS
56138-56183. FLEMING PAPERS. Vols. XXXIII-LXXVIII. Notebooks, of varying
type, size and material, for the years 1901-1953.
Forty six volumes
Many of the notebooks contain loose folios, therefore the decision has been
made to leave all loose folios where they were found as it is unknown whether
they have been put there on purpose or moved at a later date.
As the notebooks have undergone conservation, many of the loose sheets are
now housed separately from their notebooks; this is for their protection and to
enable better access to the notebooks as a whole. The foliation of the notebooks
included the loose sheets, so in the event of separation the reader will be aware
of their original locations.
Any blank pages and stubs have also been foliated to give the reader a sense of
how and when Fleming worked.
The majority of the notebooks have been purchased from W. Isacke,
Manufacturing Stationer and Printer. One of the locations of his shops was 133
Praed Street, London, W.2. This location was opposite St Mary’s Hospital,
Paddington.

a ring binder to which paper has been added. As a result of this the dates
of the experiments vary greatly and it is difficult to know if Fleming went
back to experiments or it is just where pieces of paper were placed later
on, as a result there are few defined sections of work.

ff. iv + 47. 276 x 223mm. Ring binder with hard, black cover. It was
advertised as a ‘scholastic notebook’.
Spine of the notebook has a label on it; the only legible words are
‘pneumo coccus, killing by blood’.
Label inside the cover for ‘W. Isacke, Manufacturing Stationer, Printer…
and Account Book maker, 133 Praed St., London.’
This notebook has been divided into three sections, the first of which is
unnamed. However, as it is a ring binder it is difficult to know if the
papers are in the correct order. The notebook seems to have originally
housed plain paper and this has been supplemented with other pieces of
plain and lined paper.

Pneumo killing by blood – is it killed by cells alone or is
serum necessary?
Pneumo killing by blood – properties of sensitivity of
substance in serum
Killing of pneumo by blood and salted blood
pneumo
c.
d.
v) Absorption of serum with pneumococcus, found:
a.
More killing when immune serum used therefore less
absorption or in presence of immune serum small
amount of proadin will act and kill pneumo?
b.
Opsonic to staphylococcus rather less than when
immune serum used therefore possibility more
absorption of opsonic
‘complement’
c.
Little difference in pneumo opsonic so no specific
absorption of pneumo opsonic in presence of immune
serum
vi) Does serum sensitise bugs? Found no sensation or sensitivity
can be removed by washing in a salt solution
vii) Absorption of serum with pneumococci – found no evidence
that in presence of immune serum there is more absorption of
sensitive of substance from serum
viii) Phagocytosis virulent pneumococci
ix) Comparison phagocytosis different ways with phagocytate
pneumo
x) Experiment with non-phagocytable friedlander (John)
