Series Description
Arranged alphabetically by subject, this series contains Henry C. McBay’s Miscellaneous Files. This series consists of materials that do not readily fit in the other series of this collection. The files in this series concern science topics of interest to McBay, a few of McBay’s former students at Morehouse College, a few of McBay’s fellow graduate students at the University of Chicago, and handful of other miscellaneous subjects.
The contents of the Miscellaneous Files consist of a variety of materials. Dissertation manuscripts are the most common items. Small amounts of other miscellaneous materials, including, but not limited to, handouts, photocopied articles, photocopied images, a hand drawn chemistry family tree, and a sketch of an unidentified chemistry experiment are preserved here as well.
