Scope and content:

Series 3) WRITINGS BY PUGH: This series begins with chronological lists of Pugh's publications and contains almost all of his published and unpublished works. Most of the published works are journal articles that summarize the results of his experimental physiology studies and are often in multiple drafts accompanied by research notes, data, reference material, and copies of previous work.

Also included are articles describing his experiences and research on expeditions. There are chapters Pugh contributed to physiology textbooks and reports he wrote as a medical officer during World War II filed under "Mountain Warfare Training Centre." Pugh's work in physiological measurement often provided the first instance of baseline data, e.g., "Thermal Conductivity of Human Fat and Muscle." His "Report on Scientific Work in Connection with the Mount Everest Expedition in 1953," incorporating his findings from the Mt. Cho Oyu expedition research, was the foundation for the success of the British expedition in 1953.
