Sub-series Description
Arranged alphabetically by subject, this sub-series contains Nuclide Corporation’s miscellaneous files. This sub-series consists of files that do not readily fit elsewhere in Series II – Nuclide Corporation Files.
A majority of the files in this sub-series concern Nuclide Corporation itself, pertaining to administrative matters, technical matters, and the firm’s history. A smaller, but noticeable, number of files pertaining to United States government agencies, including the National Bureau of Standards and the U.S. Department of Commerce are also found here. Files regarding miscellaneous subjects of interest to Leonard F. Herzog and other Nuclide staff are also preserved in this sub-series.
The contents of the Miscellaneous Files consist of a wide variety of materials, none of which predominate. Internal memoranda, correspondence, articles (mostly photocopies), printed materials, and reports are the most common materials found in this sub-series. Other miscellaneous materials, including, but not limited to, technical information, lists (order lists, price lists, employee lists), article manuscripts, notes, and a handful of photographs and photo negatives are preserved here as well.
