Date published 1870? https://alpha.wellcomelibrary.org/b19831031

@george08 Actually correct! The first folder of things in the archive pre-dates Watson's birth - family photos and whatnot. What we would need at the archive collection level is a date range, e.g. 1870-2012

And here's where we get into trouble with saying the creator of the archive = author actually they're more assemblers or collectors (or hoarders!)

I stand corrected!
