Sub-series 7. Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory Printed Materials, 1974-2012, undated

Arranged numerically by publication number and alphabetically by publisher, this sub-series contains printed materials pertaining to Lawerence Berkeley Laboratory that were collected and maintained by William A. Lester, Jr. The materials in this sub-series mainly document the activities of Lawrence Berkeley as an institution during Lester’s tenure, which include research and hosting workshops. To a lesser extent, the research activities of Lester and a few of his colleagues at Lawrence Berkeley and the establishment of the National Resource for Computation in Chemistry (NRCC) are also covered here.

A large majority of the printed materials in this sub-series were published by Lawerence Berkeley Laboratory itself. A smaller, but noticeable, number of materials published by the U.S. Department of Energy, for whom Lawerence Berkeley conducted extensive research in the chemical sciences, are also present in this sub-series. Two publications from Argonne National Laboratory, a single publication from the National Research Council, and a single publication from the Panel on Large Scale Computing in Science and Engineering are also preserved here.

Reports make up the largest component of the materials in the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory Printed Materials. Smaller, but noticeable, amounts of proceedings, scientific papers, and article preprints are also found this sub-series. A variety of other miscellaneous materials, including, but not limited to newsletters, institutional plans, proposals, and Ph.D. theses are preserved here as well.
