Sub-series 1. Correspondence, 1965-2009, undated

Arranged alphabetically by subject, this sub-series contains Oliver C. Wells’ correspondence files. Files containing correspondence with a few fellow scientists make up the largest component of this sub-series. Three files of Wells’ correspondence with the Microscopy Society of America regarding nominations for MSA awards are also present in this sub-series. Single files containing Wells’ correspondence with science fiction author Isaac Asimov and McGraw-Hill Book Company (publisher of his book Scanning Electron Microscopy) are also preserved here.

Letters and emails make up the bulk of the materials in the Correspondence files. Small amounts of other miscellaneous materials, including, but not limited to, articles, reprints, award nomination forms, and a floppy disk are preserved here as well.
