Harry Blum papers.

The Harry Blum papers contain materials related to the professional work of a mathematician who worked at the NIH Lab of Statistical and Mathematical Methodology in the Division of Computer Research between 1967 and his retirement in 1982. During this time, Blum sought to map out a "new geometry for biology" and develop applications for this geometry, as well as developing a set of "new principles of organization for sensory integration in the central nervous system." He collaborated on projects involving shape physchophysics, retinal neurophysiology, and the development of the human mandible. (Blum C.V. 1982, Box 2).
