Sara E. Branham papers, 1930-1986.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/759561988

The small collection of personal papers primarily contains professional correspondence during the 1930s-1950s. Specifically of note is the correspondence between Branham and two colleagues, E.G.D. Murray and Arthur Hitchens. The letters discuss their current research activities and demonstrate the collaborative nature of scientific work necessary in early microbiology. Letters between Murray and herself often involve asking on or the other to send live meningoccocus strains, as they were difficult to maintain in the laboratory. Murray was performing similar studies in England and Canada, and Hitchens worked for the University of Pennsylvania. Also included is a complete collection of her reprints and special issue of the journal Drugs , vol. 31, supplement 3 (1986) containing articles from a symposium held in honor of Branhamella catarrhalis.
