Although the Research Group does not as a body conduct or fund re- search, it has been singularly successful in achieving its objectives through a continuing series of workshops which invariably turn out to be highly pro- ductive and satisfying. Many members of the Research Group had collected and maintained, over the years of clinical and research interest in Hunting- ton's chorea, a considerable number of references and actual reprints per- taining to past work on the disease, and these were often exchanged and shar- ed within the Group.
