Series Description
Arranged chronologically by date, this series contains Henry C. McBay’s Article and Publication Files. The materials in this series concern articles and publications authored and co-authored by McBay. A majority of the articles and publications represented in this series were published. A few files regarding unpublished articles and publications authored and co-authored by McBay are also present here.
The Article and Publication Files mainly document chemistry research conducted by McBay and several of his collaborators over the course of his career, with an emphasis on his work on free radicals. They also provide some documentation of McBay’s efforts to get his work published and disseminated to the scientific community. Two files concerning McBay’s interest in chemistry education are also present in this series.
Manuscripts (typed and handwritten) and reprints are the most common materials found in the Article and Publication Files. Small amounts of other materials, including correspondence, referee reports, and notes are preserved here as well.
