Papers, ca. 1917-1975.

This collection includes correspondence, notebooks, and diaries and presents a wealth of material on the history of genetics and specifically on Dobzhansky's work with Drosophila and on evolution. His strongly held religious views and their influence on his scientific work emerges from his papers, as does his concern with politics and scientific freedom, especially in relation to the Soviet Union.
