Scope and content
Professor Sim’s writings document his experimental research and his interest in the wider aspects of the evolution of the teaching of pharmacognosy and pharmacology. The files contain any combination of correspondence, notes, drafts, offprints, and reviews of his articles and books. Two at the end of the series contain acetate sheets for addresses given. There are a number of unpublished items; those in mimeograph format were mostly associated with his teaching. Not all of his published writings are documented here, and the experimental research for some can be found, at least in part, in Series 8.
The series begins with a few letters to the editor and book reviews, followed by drafts of articles and books. The two books Professor Sims wrote were introductory texts for pharmacy students, on medicinal plant alkaloids and glycerides. Both attracted international interest and went through several printings and/or editions. Some of his articles also attracted wide interest.
