Physical Description: 2.8 linear feet
Scope and Content Note
Born in Britain in 1856, Henry James Johnston-Lavis became interested in geology as a
boy. Although he went on to pursue a medical degree at University College, London,
he never abandoned his early interest in geology. In 1880 he moved to Naples as a
consulting physician, where his geologic interests turned to Vesuvius and volcanoes.
To the extent that, in 1893, Johnston-Lavis became Professor of Volcanology at the
Regia Università. He was a prolific author producing over 200 works, the majority of
which were on volcanology. In 1895, Johnston-Lavis moved to France, where he wrote
on his twin interests of geology and medicine until his death in a car accident in 1914.
Upon his death, the majority of his collection, including geological and volcanological
specimens, photographs, books, paintings and engravings, went to University College,
London, where they today form the Johnston-Lavis collection.
As part of his volcanic research, Vander Poel acquired a smattering of Johnston-Lavis
material. This subseries contains correspondence, manuscripts on volcanological,
medical and general topics, offprints of his articles and miscellaneous material.
