Scope and Content From the Collection: The Dr. Matthew Meselson Collection is composed of two record groups: Professional Materials and Chemical and Biological Warfare Materials.Materials in Record Group I were accrued by Dr. Matthew Meselson during his doctorate work at the California Institute of Technology from 1953-1957 under Linus Pauling, his tenure as an Assistant Professor at Caltech, his work with Franklin Stahl in 1955-1957 demonstrating self-replication of DNA, and his tenure as a Professor at Harvard...

Scope and Contents

Howard Temin's discovery of reverse transcriptase and the provirus theory, changes in molecular biology after 1953, and the impact of Temin's work on the War on Cancer and early HIV research. Primary focus on 1950s–1980.

John M. Coffin, American Cancer Society Professor of Molecular Biology, Tufts University.

Scope and Contents From the Collection: The Oral History Collection contains interviews conducted with 200 scientists within the fields of molecular biology, genetics, and the life sciences between 1990 and 2024. The interviewees provide first-hand accounts of their experiences in the fields of modern biology, such as neuroscience, cancer, genetics, plant genetics, genomics, biotechnology and others, from the 1940s through the 2000s. The collection contains audio and video recordings, as well as transcripts of interviews....
