Title: Hampton L. Carson Papers 1921-1993

The population geneticist Hampton L. Carson spent the major part of his career at Washington University (1949-1963) and the University of Hawaii (1963-1985) investigating the cytogenetics and evolution of . As one of the major figures in the Hawaii project, he made particularly important contributions to the study of speciation and selective and non-selective evolutionary mechanisms. The Carson Papers (1921-1993) contain correspondence, subject files, manuscripts of published and unpublished works by Carson, papers by colleagues and students, research notes, course material, and photographs, which document Carson's career in genetics. The collection is organized into seven series: I. Correspondence, 1944-1993 ; II. Subject Files, 1946-1989 ; III. Works by Carson, 1951-1985 ; IV. Works by Others, 1949-1987 ; V. Research Notes, 1921-1993 ; VI. Course Material, 1943-1986 ; VII. Photographs, 1948-1985. Drosophila Drosophila
