Sub-series 6. Publications Files, 1981-1997

Arranged numerically by publication number, this sub-series contains publications files collected and maintained by William A. Lester, Jr. during his tenure at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. These files concern the development and release of publications produced at Lawrence Berkeley under Lester’s oversight between 1981 and 1997. They also provide a significant amount of information regarding the chemical research conducted by Lester and his colleagues at Lawrence Berkeley during that time period.

A majority of the files in this sub-series concern publications co-authored by Lester and several of his Lawrence Berkeley colleagues, including Vladimir Z. Kresin, Michel Dupuis, and Brian L. Hammond. Files concerning a significant number of publications authored by Lawrence Berkeley scientists independently of Lester, including Vladimir Z. Kresin, Brian L. Hammond, and Robert N. Barnett are also present in this sub-series. A handful of files regarding publications authored by Lester alone are also found here.

The publications represented in this sub-series consist mainly of science journal articles and papers presented at conferences, symposia, colloquia, meetings, and workshops. A handful of book chapters, Ph.D. dissertations, and reports are also represented here.

Manuscripts make up the largest component of materials found in the Publications Files sub-series. Significant amounts of publication work orders, correspondence, reprint orders, and reprints are also found in this sub-series. Small amounts of legal documents (mainly copyright agreements), articles, and publications are preserved here as well.
