DeWitt Stetten, Jr. Papers
DeWitt Stetten, Jr. Papers
The collection primarily documents Stetten's post-NIH activities between 1979 and 1990 when he acted as a consultant to the NIH, especially through his personal correspondence which makes up the bulk of the collection. Some of his early laboratory experiments are documented in the Reprints series and in his lab notebooks (1937-1955). His work on the NIH's centennial is also reflected in this collection.
