McClintock, Barbara, 1902-1992. Papers, 1927-1991.

Title: Papers, 1927-1991.

Series I (3.25 linear ft.) contains correspondence with geneticists, maize geneticists, chemists, students, and some publishers. The bulk of this series covers the 1960s to the 1990s. The major correspondents include George Wells Beadle, Almiro Blumenschein, Royal Alexander Brink, William L. Brown, Charles R. Burnham, Melvin M. Green, Takeo Angel Kato Yamakake, Joshua Lederberg, Oliver Evans Nelson, Jr., Peter Andrew Peterson, Marcus M. Rhoades, James A. Shapiro, and Lester W. Sharp. Series II (1 linear ft.) contains programs, brochures, award certificates, newspaper and magazine clippings, reports, and meeting minutes. Subjects include the National Medal of Science, the Wolf Foundation Prize, and the Nobel Prize. Series III (5 linear ft.) contains McClintock's outlines, research, and drafts for articles, books, and lectures. The majority of this series is comprised of lectures. Series IV (4.5 linear ft.) contains articles, notes, reports, and papers written by colleagues and students of McClintock. The series is arranged alphabetically by author and then by title. Also included are notes that McClintock took about works by others. Series V (55 linear ft.) contains loose notes, notebooks, card files, and numerous photographs and lantern slides of maize. There is no folder listing for this series. Because this series documents specific experiments with maize in great technical detail, the folders have been left in the original order in which they were boxed from McClintock's laboratory file cabinets at Cold Spring Harbor. The boxes have been labeled with the cabinet number and drawer number of the file cabinets in McClintock's laboratory. The notebooks are interspersed with the loose notes in the order in which McClintock arranged them. The card files are mainly culture cards for maize samples which McClintock studied at Cold Spring Harbor. Many of the prints and slides are probably photographs of these maize samples. Series VI (1.5 linear ft.) contains prints and negatives. Some of the prints are illustrations from articles about maize genetics and others are prints of McClintock herself.

L. C. Dunn Papers, ca. 1920-1974

Title: L. C. Dunn Papers ca. 1920-1974

L.C. Dunn was one of the most significant figures in the emerging field of developmental genetics in the 20th century. His T-locus work with the mouse established a number of important genetic principles, including ideas of gene interaction, the distribution of alleles in wild populations, and the factors that influence fertility. He wrote an important textbook of genetics, (1925), in collaboration with Sinnott (and later Dobzhansky); other significant books authored or co-authored by him include (1946), and (1965). He worked in poultry genetics for eight years at the Agricultural Experiment Station in Storrs, CT, from 1920-1928. The remainder of his career was spent at Columbia University, where he worked with rats, mice, and fruit flies, and proved himself to be an inspiring teacher as well. His interest in international scientific collaboration led him to establish ties to Soviet scientists, and to help relocate refugee scientists during World War II. He remained active in his profession to the end of his life. This collection includes correspondence, reports, notebooks, lectures, and photographs. It is a rich collection, documenting the development of American genetics as well as Dunn's interests in humanitarian efforts and international affairs. There is significant material relating to American-U.S.S.R. contacts, particularly in the files on the American-Soviet Friendship Council and the American-Soviet Science Society. There is much, as well, on the impact of the Lysenko controversy in the U. S. Dunn's inerestt in European scientists can also be seen in the sizable amount of material on the Emergency Committee in Aid of Displaced German Scholars. Material relating to the Kilgore and Magnusson bills for the support of science (predecessors to the NSF) are also in the collection. Of note are data on the following: National Research Council Committee on Experimental Animals and Plants; research on the population study of the Jewish community in Rome; and Columbia University. There is much in the correspondence concerning Drosophila, poultry genetics, and other such topics; Walter Landauer is Dunn's major correspondent.

Erwin Chargaff Papers, 1929-1992

Title: Erwin Chargaff Papers 1929-1992

A biochemist at Columbia University, Erwin Chargaff discovered the base-pairing regularities or "complementarity relationships" of nucleic acids that provided one of the key steps in developing a structural model for DNA. During his long career, Chargaff is credited with conclusively falsifying the tetranucleotide hypothesis; demonstrating the existence of a large number of DNA species; and creating the first descriptions of hypochromicity, hyperchromicity, and the denaturation of a DNA. In addition, Chargaff conducted important research on blood coagulation, lipids and lipoproteins, the metabolism of amino acids and inositol, and the biosynthesis of phosphotransferases. He retired to emeritus status in 1974 and remained active in research almost to the time of his death in June 2002. The Chargaff Papers are organized into ten series: I. Correspondence, 1931-1992; Ia. Correspondence, 1949-2002; IIa. Grants, 1930-1982; IIb. Subject Files, 1940-1984; IIc. Subject Files, 1946-2002; III. Works by Chargaff, 1929-1989; IIIa.

Curt Stern Papers, 1907-1981

Title: Curt Stern Papers 1907-1981

The Papers of Curt Stern include extensive correspondence, lectures (1920s-1970s, 1.5 boxes), autobiographical material, articles, zoological course notes, photographs, etc. Stern's various areas of scientific interest are documented in the collection: the chromosome theory of heredity, role of gene mutation and chromosome rearrangements in evolution, action and interaction of genes during individual development, and particularly his contribution to the development of human genetics as a discipline (centered on his popular and influential book, 1949, 1960, 1973). Both his career in Germany and the United States is documented in his correspondence. After studying with T. H. Morgan at Columbia University on a Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship (1924-1926), Stern returned to Richard Goldschmidt's lab at the Kaiser-Wilhelm Institute (1926-1932). There is material of note in the collection concerning this period when Stern helped to establish the cytological basis of crossing over. After a short stay at the California Institute of Technology in 1932, Stern's temporary residence in the U. S. became permanent, and his later career at the University of Rochester, 1933-1947 (Chairman, Department of Zoology) and at the University of California, Berkeley, 1947-1970 (there is abundant material on the Department of Zoology) is covered in the collection. There is other material on: American Association for the Advancement of Science Inter-Society Committee on Science Foundation Legislation, 1946-1947; American Society of Human Genetics (Pres., 1957); Atomic Energy Commission (Advisory Committee for Biology and Medicine, 1950-1955); Genetics (journal); Oak Ridge National Laboratory (Advisory Committee for Biology, 1955-1968); and the Rockefeller Foundation. Stern's correspondence with friends and colleagues in Germany, England, and the U. S., during the 1920s-1930s, is of particular note as it documents not only the developments in genetics and the institutional and administrative networks supporting research, but it also offers general comments and observations on science, Germany, and politics. The photographs (2 boxes) include pictures of many prominent geneticists and scientists. Principles of Human Genetics,
