Cassette Tapes, 1953-2008

 Sub-Series

Scope and Contents

Researchers should note that ninety-nine tapes in this sub-series (those beginning in Box 177 and ending at the third tape in Box 181, as well as the final twelve tapes in Box 182) were transferred from dictaphone discs to cassette tape format. Labels for these cassettes reflect information written on the original dictaphone discs and accompanying envelopes. The transfers are reference copies of the original Edison Voicewriter discs and reflect minimal audio restoration. The contents of these transferred tapes consist of Genetics 107 lectures from 1953 to 1954, thirteen Lederberg seminars, and twenty-two tapes of audio correspondence from J. Lein of Bristol Labs Inc in Syracuse, NY. The original dictaphone discs are available upon request, but the Library does not possess the equipment necessary to play them.

Other tapes in the sub-series consist of Joshua Lederberg speeches, lectures, and interviews, as well as Rockefeller University senate meetings, and conference presentations.

The cassette tapes are arranged chronologically.
