| Abstract: | The collection consists primarily of materials related to Axelrod's scientific career. The bulk of these materials consists of awards, laboratory notebooks, reprints, and photographs. The collection is especially stong in documenting Axelrod's receipt of the Nobel Prize in 1970. There is little correspondence. |
Julius (Julie) Axelrod (1912-2004) was born May 20, 1912, on the lower east side of Manhattan in New York City, the son of Polish immigrants Isadore and Molly Axelrod. Julius' father supported the family as a basketmaker. Axelrod attended Seward Park High School, where he quickly developed an interest in history, literature, and science, and set his sights on medical school. In 1929, Axelrod enrolled in New York City University (NYU). After one year, he transferred to the tuition-free City College of New York (CCNY), which Axelrod later described as a "proletarian Harvard." Axelrod graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in biology in 1933. He applied to several medical schools, but was not admitted. Reflecting on these rejections, he told a newspaper reporter in 1970 that "It was hard in those days for Jews to get into medical school. I wasn't that good a student, but if my name was Bigelow I probably would have gotten in."
Axelrod also found it difficult to find work in his field, especially in the middle of the Depression. After a brief stint as a laboratory technician at the Harriman Research Laboratory at NYU Medical School, Axelrod found a position in 1935 testing vitamin supplements added to food, particularly milk, for the New York City Department of Health's Laboratory of Industrial Hygiene. Axelrod remained in this position until 1946. During this period, he lost his left eye in a laboratory accident. In 1938, Axelrod married Sally Taub, an elementary school teacher. Over the next decade, the couple had two sons, Paul and Alfred. While working for the Department of Health, Axelrod took night classes at NYU and earned his Master of Science degree in chemistry in 1941 with a thesis on the chemical breakdown of enzymes in cancerous tumor tissues.
In 1946, Axelrod began conducting research on the chemistry of analgesic (pain-relieving) medications with Bernard "Steve" Brodie at Goldwater Memorial Hospital on Welfare (now Roosevelt) Island. He continued to work with Brodie, whom he considered to be his mentor, for the next eight years. Their research together laid the foundation for Axelrod's lifelong enthusiasm for pharmacological science. In 1949, Axelrod accepted a position as a research chemist at the National Heart Institute (NHI), a part of the rapidly expanding National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland. From 1949 to 1955, he pursued many new projects at the NHI that built upon his previous work.
Although Axelrod clearly possessed the requisite skill and scientific expertise to carry out his own research, he knew that without a Ph.D. his opportunities for career advancement were limited. In 1954, Axelrod took a leave of absence from the NIH to attend The George Washington University, where his advisor, George Mandel, permitted him to submit some of his recent NIH laboratory work as the basis for his doctoral dissertation. Now in his early 40's, Axelrod graduated from GWU in 1955 with a Ph.D. in pharmacology after completing his thesis, "The Fate of Phenylisopropylamines."
In 1954, Axelrod was invited to establish a Section on Pharmacology in Edward Evarts's Laboratory of Clinic Science at the NIH's National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). In 1957, he began his most famous research project, which focused on the activity of neurotransmitter hormones. Axelrod's work enabled researchers during the 1970s to develop a new class of antidepressant medications, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Some commonly known SSRIs include Prozac, Zoloft, and Celexa. Over the next thirty years until his retirement in 1984, he continued to work on a wide array of research projects in pharmacological science.
In 1970, Axelrod, along with Sir Bernard Katz of University College London and Ulf von Euler of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology for "discoveries concerning the humoral transmitters in the nerve terminals and the mechanism for their storage, release and inactivation." Axelrod remained an active researcher, distinguished lecturer, and public scientist throughout the 1970s, garnering numerous honorary degrees and professional awards. In 1984, at the age of 72, he formally retired from the NIMH. In 1996, he was named Scientist Emeritus of the National Institutes of Health.

The Julius Axelrod Papers consist of 12.1 linear feet of notebooks, articles, photographs, and awards, plus two oversize boxes and two oversize folders of degrees, awards, and posters.
The collection consists primarily of materials related to Axelrod's scientific career, although there are several biographical sketches. As evidence of Axelrod's many hours in the laboratory, the collection features a run of laboratory notes and notebooks from the late 1940s through the 1960s. Further, the collection boasts a large number of scientific articles and other publications spanning his career. The collection also contains numerous photographs of Axelrod at various conferences and lectures. There are a great number of items related to Axelrod's winning of awards, honorary degrees, memberships, and lectureships. The collection is especially strong in documenting Axelrod's receipt of the Nobel Prize in 1970, including congratulatory correspondence, newspaper clippings, and print ephemera.
The collection contains very little correspondence, either professional or personal. The laboratory notes and notebooks from the 1950s and 1960s comprise a significant part of Axelrod's papers, as do his articles and other publications. However, the majority of the collection is related in one way or another to his notoriety after receiving the Nobel.

Series I: Personal and Biographical,
1950-2004, 0.4 linear feet
|
| Although this series offers few primary accounts of Axelrod's early life and career, secondary biographical sketches and articles cover much of his scientific activities throughout the late 1970s. Just like the Professional Activities series, this series only has a small sampling of materials from Axelrod's career during the late-1980s and 1990s. Still, these materials give the researcher good information on Axelrod's entire career, specifically his laboratory work and discoveries, and his winning the Nobel Prize in 1970, which is also documented in the Nobel Prize and Other Awards series. |
|
|
|
|
| The first subseries contains biographical materials and essays about Axelrod; writings by Axelrod, including his 1968 book on the Pineal Gland, are found in the Writings and Publications series. The second subseries contains numerous articles and clippings devoted to Axelrod at various stages in his life and career. The final subseries of miscellaneous materials includes two folders of clippings that cover some of the political issues with which Axelrod became involved following his 1970 receipt of the Nobel Prize, as well as some personal correspondence and materials relating to close colleagues.

Series II: Laboratory Notes and Notebooks,
1946-1971, 2.0 linear feet
|
| This series contains materials related to Axelrod's laboratory work. The first subseries includes four sets of lab notes from the late 1940s. The second subseries features eighteen clothbound lab notebooks, mostly from the 1950s, but some date from the 1960s and 1970s. Each notebook's subject is written on the spine, and many of the experiments are undated. The notebooks document Axelrod's research into how caffeine, LSD, and narcotic drugs affect the central nervous system. Most of the work in these notebooks appears to be in Axelrod's hand, some of which is illegible. Despite their age, these items are in relatively good condition. |

Series III: Writings and Publications,
1910-2003, 5.0 linear feet
|
| This series contains the writings of Axelrod, the majority of which are reprints from scientific journals and monographs. The first of six subseries features both loose and bound reprints by Axelrod. Bound volumes of reprints dating from 1948-1978 comprise the first half of the subseries; these volumes cover drug metabolism, the pineal gland, adrenaline, noradrenaline, and catecholamines. Nearly complete in their coverage of his enormous body of early scientific work, Axelrod organized each volume of reprints into subject categories and arranged them chronologically. Axelrod also kept loose copies of his articles and numbered them in chronological order; these articles, along with a copy of the corresponding bibliography, make up the second half of this subseries. |
|
|
|
|
| The second and third subseries contain manuscripts, interviews, and other works by Axelrod. Included in the Manuscripts subseries are the typescripts of Axelrod's master's thesis and doctoral dissertation, while the third subseries features the transcript of a question-and-answer session with Axelrod on the history of pharmacology. Actual audio- and videorecordings of interviews with Axelrod are contained within the Audiovisuals series. All materials in both of these subseries are arranged chronologically. |
|
|
|
|
| The fourth subseries includes books written by others, all inscribed to Axelrod. These are arranged alphabetically by author. The fifth subseries contains reprints by other authors that Axelrod collected, arranged first by general subject and then by year. Subjects of these reprints include catecholamines, the pineal gland, and narcotic microsomes. Some of these reprints have been marked or annotated by Axelrod or by the article's author. The final subseries consists of miscellaneous figures and charts arranged by subject. The figures were used either as overheads, slides, or diagrams for articles. To avoid further deterioration of some damaged materials, these items were copied and the originals destroyed. |

Series VI: Photographs, ca. 1915-2002, 1.75 linear feet
|
| This rather extensive series contains photographs and a few slides from Axelrod's personal life and professional career. Most of the items in this series are identified by descriptions and/or dates inscribed on the back of the image. |
|
|
|
|
| The first subseries contains photographs of Axelrod's personal life and family members; a large number of these are snapshots. The second subseries consists of photographs from Axelrod's professional career, beginning with pictures from the Goldwater Memorial Hospital and the NIH. This subseries also contains numerous conference photographs from the 1960s to 1990s showing Axelrod and other attendees, as well as a number of unidentified and undated conference photographs. Some of these conference photographs are part of files from the Professional Activities series. The third subseries includes photographs from Axelrod's various trips. The locations of these travels are generally identified, but the professional occasions or personal events are not.
