Abstract:
Most readers of this journal will be intimately familiar with Noel Matthews and M. Doreen Wainwright's indispensable work, A Guide to Manuscripts and Documents in the British Isles Relating to Africa . However, it is virtually inevitable that in a comprehensive work of this nature (and I should indicate straight away that theirs is an exceptionally fine work) that there will be oversights, omissions, or less than adequately full listings. One case in point is the coverage Matthews and Wainwright devote to African material held in the archives of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. Their listing, which covers pages 188-91 of the book, is accurate insofar as it goes, but it presents less than a total picture of the potential riches that await Africanists in a multitude of discplines who journey to Kew.
