In [6] Brown and Spencer noted that internal categories within the category of groups are equivalent to crossed modules. As they remarked, this result was known to various others before them, but it had not until then appeared in print. That paper led me to investigate the question of which algebraic categories, C, were such that a similar result held i.e. internal categories in C are equivalent to crossed modules of the appropriate type. The resulting work was written up in 1980 but was not submitted for publication.
