THE BATESON PAPERS.
Primarily concerned with family matters, affording interesting insights into British social life during the first three decades of the twentieth century, glimpses of William Bateson's milieu, and of a patriarchal scientific family in England. There is some genealogical material on the Bateson family. There are a few letters from Wm. Bateson's father, William Henry, and material about Mary Bateson, historian. The bulk of the collection consists of correspondence between William, Catherine Beatrice (C.B.B., née Durham), and their sons John, Martin, and Gregory. The raising and schooling of the Bateson boys, their parents' advice and concerns, their investigations in "botany," and other schoolboy interests; and their occasional assistance in their father's researches, as well as the tragic deaths of John (died one month before the World War I Armistice, in Oct. 1918) and of Martin (suicide, 1922) are subjects included in the correspondence. Papers donated by Gregory Bateson, anthropologist (deceased), through Mary Catherine Bateson and David Lipset, September, 1980.

Judson, Horace Freeland

b. Apr. 21, 1931. U. Chicago, B.A., 1948. Professor, history of science, Johns Hopkins University. Author, The Eighth Day of Creation (1979).

After a varied career as graduate student, researcher for the American O.M.G. in Berlin, editor, advertising copywriter, and journalist, Judson found his metier as a chronicler and historian of science. His masterpiece, The Eighth Day of Creation: Makers of the Revolution in Biology, established him in 1979 as peerless in the use of taped interviews, usually repeated and revised several times, as a basis of probing the actual genesis of discovery and the history of ideas in modern science. Papers, ca. 1970-78. 1 In. ft. & 52 cassette recordings. Includes correspondence, transcripts of interviews, and taped interviews with biochemists, molecular biologists, and geneticists, the basic documentation of his book. Restricted access.

THE LURIA PAPERS
44 boxes (22 In. ft.). Not yet sorted. Accession, July 1986. Donated by Salvador Luria.

Especially noted for his collaboration with Max Delbrück in determining that hereditary variation in bacteria is predominantly attributable to genetic mutation and for their joint work on the replication of bacteriophage, Luria is generally regarded as one of the founders of microbial genetics. His Nobel Prize, received jointly with Max Delbrück and Alfred Hershey, recognized that work. The collection of papers dates only from the 1960s on. It contains laboratory notebooks and personal correspondence. There is also some correspondence relating to the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, of which Luria has been a nonresident fellow since 1965.

THE SCHULTZ PAPERS
1920-71. Ca. 25,000 items (27.5 lin. ft.).

Correspondence (18.5 boxes), manuscripts of lectures and articles, research grant proposals and reports, research data, and some personal notes from his graduate school days. For a recollection of his days in the Morgan fly-room at Columbia University, see letter to G.W. Beadle, 7-31-70. Much of his tenure at the Institute of Cancer Research was spent in administration, rather than on original research. He had much success in selecting, encouraging, and stimulating a brilliant research staff. He did not publish prolifically, but relied on lectures and informal discussions (7 boxes of lectures and articles). A poor correspondent himself, the letters are mostly to him.

THE STEINBERG PAPERS
A preliminary accession of papers relating to Steinberg's difficulties in government clearance during the late 1940s and the 1950s, owing to his association in research while at McGill U. with a chemist who later proved to be a spy for the USSR A horrendous example of "guilt by association," which neither his excellent record of wartime research with OSRD, nor his scientific reputation, nor his friends' and colleagues' testimonials could quickly overcome. Also an autobiographical sketch, xx pp.

American Society of Human Genetics
The rapid growth of medical and human genetics by that year indicated that an organization independent of the Genetics Society of America would have no difficulty in maintaining a full program and supporting its own journal, the American Journal of Human Genetics. The Genetics Society of America and the American Society of Human Genetics publish a joint directory of members; the American Board of Medical Genetics has more recently been included in this directory.

THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF HUMAN GENETICS RECORDS.
The American Society of Human Genetics archives fill approximately 20 boxes (8.5 ln. ft.) of official correspondence pertaining to meeting, members, and other Society business from 1948 on. Although not yet fully organized or indexed, the archives and papers, which include a collection of photographs from the International Congress of Human Genetics held in Israel in 1981, are available to researchers. One especially interesting item is a scrapbook of the Society's early years kept by Herluf H. Strandskov, University of Chicago professor who was the Society's secretary-treasurer during that period. It begins with a "historical note" on the founding and first meeting of the Society and its election of officers. This "note" was printed in the Mendel Newsletter, 15:5-6 (1978).

American Society of Naturalists
28 boxes (ca. 11.5 ln. ft.)

The American Society of Naturalists was founded in 1883. Originally devoted to general biology and especially to questions of evolution, it became by the middle of this century more of an honorary society, election to which depended on a strong record usually extending over years of research in zoology, botany, or evolutionary questions. Its specific objectives remain to foster the development of breadth and unity in the biological sciences, and to maintain the American Naturalist under the editorial control of the Society. For a time, as the majority of papers published in its journal gave evidence, it was dominated by the rise of genetics. More recently, it has become the voice of advanced theory and research in ecology and evolution.

and

THE AMERICAN NATURALIST.
This journal was established in 1867, under the editorship of A. S. Packard, Jr., E.S. Morse, A. Hyatt, and F. W. Putnam. It is at present published by the University of Chicago Press for the American Society of Naturalists.

The papers of the Society and the American Naturalist consist of the reports of the secretary-treasurer, the president and vice president (the latter in charge of the annual symposium arranged by the Society), and various committees; and the editorial correspondence and referees' reports on papers submitted for publication.

Genetics Society of America
Established 1932, from union of the joint Genetics sections of the American Society of Zoologists and the Botanical Society of America, which dated from 1922. It is said that a strong reason for establishing the new society was wide dissatisfaction with the implicit endorsement of eugenics by the older American Genetic Association, to which many geneticists belonged. It is true, however, that many geneticists in 1932 felt that there were both a sufficient number of geneticists and strength of the discipline to warrant a separate society that would unite the animal and plant geneticists in their meetings and programs, if held separately from the times of the botanical and zoological meetings. It was also argued that a separate society would create added support for the periodical Genetics.

THE GENETICS SOCIETY OF AMERICA RECORDS
43 boxes, ca. 18 lin. ft.

The records of the Society are not complete from every year, but consist mainly of reports by the society's treasurer and secretary, and of standing or special committees. The records of the Committee on the Preservation of Historical Materials will be added to these archives, and constitute about two file drawers of correspondence and reports. To these may be added the files of the A.P.S. Library's History of Genetics Project, amounting to about an equal volume of records.

History of Science Society
These archives fill 114 boxes (ca. 471/2 in. ft.). There is occasional material in them of special interest to geneticists and evolutionists.
