http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122380096

This collection, although primarily post-1938 correspondence, includes interesting series relating to the organization of the publication "Advances in Genetics" (with Demerec's early contributions and Caspari's later work). There are many of his papers and lectures, and much material concerning biology, behavior genetics, and human evolution, among other topics. There is also substantial material concerning grants for his research on the moth Ephestia.

ca. 10,000 items (ca. 9.5 linear ft.).
