From the Collection:

The Rudolph Pariser Papers consist of four and a half linear feet of original material pertaining to the Pariser-Parr-Pople method. Pariser’s papers offer a glimpse into the development, and subsequent application, of one of the most widely used methods in quantum chemistry. Pariser’s later work with polymer science is not included in these archives, nor is there any representation of his personal life.
