Abstract

The Library has finally acquired a new filing cabinet to house the clinical papers, and the resultant clearing in the Library cupboard did not, alas, reveal a stash of £50.00 notes behind the filing cabinet, but it did enable proper access to material on the shelf behind the cabinet, which revealed for the first time, a photograph album entitled ‘Views of 7 Linnell Close Golders Green London NW11 the home of Dr S. H. Foulkes as remembered by members of the Group-Analytic Society London in its early days.’ There follow two pages of member signatures, then a photograph of the exterior, ‘A Mexican Group from Rome – E Foulkes’, a close up of the bust of Foulkes [now resident in the Library], shots of the ground floor rooms of the house, the staircase, the study, with small photograph of S H Foulkes and large one of Freud [now resident in the Library]. No record appears to have existed of this album: it was never recorded on any database, and it seems appropriate that it should join the rest of the Foulkes’ archive, at the Wellcome Collection, so this is what has been arranged – a scan first having been taken, however, so the IGA/GASi has a record of the material.
