Series 4: Reprints and Research Publications, 1950-1993

This series is divided into two subseries: the scientific publications of Anfinsen and those of his close colleagues. These publications begin in the 1950s and reach into the 1990s. Along with copies of nearly two hundred Anfinsen reprints, this series includes his Nobel address, abstracts, and drafts of articles. The reprints are arranged by Anfinsen's numbering system, and can be deciphered by using the master list of reprints and numbers (see Appendix C). These reprints account for approximately ninety percent of the articles he published during his forty years of scientific work. This series also contains a collection of publications by others including dissertations directed by Anfinsen and publications from the Pontifical Academy of Sciences. In total, this series contains the majority of Anfinsen's prolific body of writings and research.

The first subseries features a lengthy run of Anfinsen's scientific articles from 1954-1993, as well as some of his other published and unpublished works. The master list of reprints and numbers indicates which articles are contained within the collection. In most cases there are two copies of each reprint. The second subseries features four dissertations from Anfinsen's doctoral students, a run of Pontifical Academy of Sciences publications mostly from the 1980s, a Weizmann Institute Directory from 1990, and a history of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.
