The Paul J. Flory Papers, 1931-1985 bulk 1950-1978.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/48272286

The main body of the papers consists of working papers for publication. These are left in Flory's preferred arrangement, beginning at the middle years of his career. There are also addendum items that were collected after Flory's death. These have been re-arranged along standard subject/chronological lines. Topics dealt with in the addendum are: China, the USSR, the problems of dissident scientists and the future of polymer chemistry in the U.S. The collection includes Flory's working notes, drafts and manuscripts for most of his major writings including his Nobel acceptance speech, both of his published textbooks and several chapters to a never-completed book on rubber elasticity.
