Series Description
Arranged in its original order, this series contains historical materials curated by the Division of Biochemical Technology regarding advances within the fermentation industries. Many of the items were authored by David Perlman, who was viewed as the “unofficial historian” of the division and appeared to have a special interest in the business and economics sides of microbiology. Also present in this series are several items of historical importance to the division.
The contents of this series consist of a variety of materials. Journal articles are the most common materials in this series. A variety of other miscellaneous materials, including, but not limited to correspondence, conference papers, meeting programs, transparencies, and photographs are preserved in this series as well.
