NCUACS home : Catalogues of Cambridge biochemists: About this site Since its establishment in 1973 the Unit has catalogued the papers of many leading figures in Cambridge biochemistry. As a pilot project to mount a number of catalogues on the Web, the Unit brought together completed catalogues of papers of a number and made them available in html form. Subsequently the Unit's participation in the national Access to Archives has made them available in searchable form. The links are therefore being updated and readers should access the Unit’s Guide to Collections to link to the catalogues.
