CONTEXT

Administrative/Biographical history:

Pharmacy classes were introduced around 1896 in the Chemistry section of the Technical Department at the South Western Polytechnic. Instruction for examinations of the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain commenced in 1922 when the Chelsea School of Pharmacy was opened in the re-named Chelsea Polytechnic. Courses suitable for the Assistants' Examination of the Society of Apothecaries were also introduced. Chelsea became the first institution to offer a University of London recognised degree in Pharmacy from 1926. The rapid expansion of teaching occasioned the opening of a separate Department of Pharmacy in 1933. When Chelsea and King's merged in 1985, the department became part of the Faculty of Life Sciences. From 1991 this was part of the Health Science division of the School of Life, Basic Medical and Health Sciences, and from 1998 part of the School of Life Sciences.

CDPM/FP1 refers to Apothecary Hall undergraduate students only. The undergraduate record card series covers BPharm degrees. The early record cards give very little information, typically name, address, session, date of qualification and some course marks. Later record cards include name, address, 'A' Level results, course unit marks, degree result and a photograph. Withdrawals typically include the same level of information plus the date of leaving. Records for students who graduated after 1990 and the subsequent file series contain application and enrolment forms, transcript information and correspondence. Postgraduate record cards cover MSc, PhD, ACC, DCC and Community Diploma courses. FPPG2 is divided into subject areas covering MSc Biopharmacy, Pharmaceutical Analysis, Pharmaceutical Technology and also includes some PhD students for the period 1950-1960. Information given includes date of birth, photograph and which course was passed. Theses/Dissertations are divided into BSc, MSc, PhD and miscellaneous. Although the bulk of material is listed under a King's reference the majority are pre-1985 and Chelsea Department of Pharmacy.
