http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/154306617

The collection documents Reynolds' personal, scholarly, and administrative activites at Louisiana State University, and his extensive involvement in groups that directly influenced national and cooperative efforts in space science. Correspondence, meeting agendas and minutes, speeches, publicity materials, research papers, reports, photographs, films, clippings, and personal papers span his entire career, but are primarily focused upon the period 1962-1985. Groups represented include the American Physical Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the National Academy of Sciences' Naval Studies Board and Space Science Board, Gulf Universities Research Consortium, the Organization for Tropical Studies, and the Consortium for Superconducting Materials and Instrumentation. Reynolds' personal papers include items related to his membership in the Southern Yacht Club and the Cosmos Club, and to topics such as employment opportunities throughout his career, his retirement arrangements, and invitations to a variety of national and social functions.
