Administrative / Biographical History
Sir Archibald Geikie corresponded with a number of people both socially and professionally. Sir Charles William Wilson (1836-1905) was Director General of the Ordnance Survey of the United Kingdom. He had earlier been in Palestine, where he had collected many geological specimens, which he sent to Geikie. Horace Bolingbroke Woodward (1848-1914) worked with the British Museum and the Geological Survey and had professional contact with Geikie from both. Edward Adrian Wilson was a surgeon with the National Antarctic Expedition.
