Series Description

Arranged alphabetically by subject, this series consists of files documenting Lloyd H. Conover's invention and development of the antibiotic tetracycline. A majority of the materials in this series were created years after his work on tetracycline. A noticeable amount of materials created at the time of Conover's work on tetracycline (1950s and early 1960s) are also present here.

The contents of the Tetracycline Files consist of a variety of materials. Article reprints, photocopied articles, correspondence, and paper manuscripts are the most common materials found in this series. Reports, web page printouts, meeting minutes, notes, and photocopied overhead slides are also present in this series. Photocopied book chapters, speech manuscripts, publications, and a patent are preserved here as well.
