Among the topics covered in this series are: research on polyamines and nucleic acids; conferences; the publishing of journal articles; and participation in professional societies. There is correspondence concerning Cohen's affiliations with the American Association for Cancer Research, the American Cancer Society, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, the National Academy of Sciences, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Upjohn Company. Also in this series is correspondence about Cohen's grants from the Commonwealth Fund and the National Institutes of Health. Correspondents include Thomas F. Anderson, Uriel Bachrach, Otto K. Behrens, Mirko Beljanski, Aaron Bendich, Seymour Benzer, Paul Berg, Ernest Borek, Jean Brachet, Samuel C. Bukantz, Erwin Chargaff, Bernard D. Davis, Max Delbruck, Jack J. Fox, Joseph S.

Weed, Jean Weigle, and Gerard R. Wyatt. Series II (.75 linear ft.) contains clippings, announcements and programs for lectures, some syllabi for courses, grant applications to the National Institutes of Health, meeting minutes for the American Cancer Society, research reports to the Commonwealth Fund, and a small amount of information about Scientists and Engineers for Johnson. Also in this series is Cohen's bibliography and some biographical material on Cohen, including descriptions of his research projects. Series III (.5 linear ft.) contains abstracts, typescripts, and some lectures. Some of the works were done with students (e.g., Hazel Barner Leung) and colleagues (e.g., Thomas F. Anderson). Included among the works is a lecture on Erwin Chargaff's work that Cohen gave when Chargaff was presented with the Carl Neuberg Medal in 1958. Also in this series is a manuscript of comments that Cohen wrote about his published papers while looking over the laboratory notebooks that are now contained in Series IV and V. Series IV (7.0 linear ft.) contains laboratory notebooks, laboratory notes, and some manuscripts. Most of the works were done by students and laboratory assistants in the 1960s. The laboratory notebooks contain graphs, charts, photographs, and some test tubes. Subjects include polyamines, TYMV, bleomycin, ara-A, and adenine. Series V (5.5 linear ft.) contains laboratory notes, graphs, charts, photographs, and a few test tubes. Many of the experiments are from the 1940s and 1950s. The earliest material is "Thromboplastin (Towards Dissertation)" dated 1938-1941. Subjects for the experiments include phosphogluconate, chloroplasts, protoplasts, ara, TAU, RNA polymerase, and polyamines. Series VI (.25 linear ft.) contains photographs of Cohen in his laboratory, at conferences, at the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, and with Alfred D. Hershey. Also included are photographs of Cohen's students and photographs of experiment results (e.g., of chloroplasts).
