A new Flickr gallery showing some of the images that have been included in our current digitisation project is now available. The images have been selected from the glass plate negative series (KDBP/1/1) which contain a number of images documenting x-ray diffraction and other physical studies into DNA. The series dating from 1949 to 1984 contains significant landmark diffraction patterns of DNA including early crystalline A-and semi-crystalline B-forms in particularly 'Photo 51' created by Rosalind Franklin. Along with x-ray patterns there are also model representations of the structure and graphical representations of the King's team's findings.
The new Flickr set can be found in the link below:

Project blog for the cataloguing and preservation of the papers of Maurice Wilkins and the King’s College London Department of Biophysics at the King's College London Archives. The project was undertaken at the College from May 2010-May 2011 with selected material from the archives later digitised as part of the Wellcome Trust Codebreakers: Makers of Modern Genetics project.
