The Research Series contains information on the evidence Lederberg used in order to construct his theories on recombination in bacteria, which won him the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1958. It provides insight into Lederberg’s shift away from laboratory research and his efforts to bring his scientific knowledge to other areas, including space biology, computer science, and mental health.

The series is divided into three sub-series based on Lederberg’s major research interests: Computer Science, Exobiology, and Genetics. Document types found in the series include correspondence, photographs, reports, manuals, grant applications, publications (newspaper clippings, articles, etc.), lab notebooks, notes, memoranda, stock culture index cards, keysort cards, bibliographic note cards, and manuscripts.

IV.1 Computer Science, 1961-1991 (bulk 1965-1979), 10.0 linear feet

The Computer Science sub-series contains material documenting the multiple computer database systems Lederberg helped to develop. The sub-series includes historical summaries, correspondence, and administrative details for the Dendritic Algorithm (DENDRAL), ACME, Stanford University Medical Experimental (SUMEX), and BIONET databases.

IV.2 Exobiology, 1958-1999 (bulk 1958-1974), 4.0 linear feet

The Exobiology sub-series contains material Lederberg acquired regarding the study of extraterrestrial bacteria as a legitimate field and the scientific control of planetary space exploration. In addition to reports, correspondence, and committee notes there are biographical documents tracing Lederberg’s early interest in the subject of governmental control of space exploration.

Folders in this sub-series are arranged chronologically.

IV.3 Genetics, 1941-1984 (bulk 1955-1979), 8 linear feet

Lederberg’s research career is documented in the Genetics sub-series. Found here are Lederberg’s research notes from his years as a graduate student at Columbia and Yale, the time he spent as a professor/researcher at the University of Wisconsin and material from Lederberg’s involvement in the creation of Stanford University’s Department of Genetics. Much of the research material takes the form of lab books (belonging to Lederberg or his colleagues) and reports. This sub-series also contains the notes Lederberg kept while experimenting with recombination in bacteria.

Along with research notes, grant applications and correspondence, Lederberg kept stock culture index/keysort cards, which are a comprehensive catalog of strains (E. coli and B. subtilis) from 1947 through 1959. The cards are split into two series (Y and WG), which indicate the strains used by Tatum at Yale and the strains used by Lederberg at Wisconsin.

Folders in this sub-series are arranged alphabetically and chronologically.
