The American Cancer Society, the Office of Scientific Research and Development, and the United States Public Health Service account for a significant portion of this series. Series IIb (1.5 linear ft.) contains programs, brochures, newspaper and magazine clippings, reports and meeting minutes (mainly from the National Academy of Sciences), lists of books ordered by Chargaff and places visited by Chargaff, trip itineraries, and material regarding laboratory administration. Series III (15.5 linear ft.) contains outlines, preparatory notes, research, drafts, and galley proofs for articles, books, reviews, lectures, and tributes to colleagues.
