See Series 13 for documents relating to his formal addresses, talks and speeches.

This series is general professional correspondence filed chronologically in incoming and outgoing files. Most of the correspondence is between Prof. Lemon and colleagues throughout Canada and the United States regarding research, papers, projects, reviews, invitations, conferences, etc. There is also some correspondence with former students requesting references although most of this type of correspondence can be found in Series 8. Correspondence from 1995-2005 is mainly incoming. There is also a file of correspondence and related documents from his sabbatical in Australia, 1988-89. Finally this series contains one CD of e-mail from 1996-2003.

This series contains files documenting Prof. Eddie’s applications for financial assistance to conduct research for books, articles and other research activities from both external funding bodies as well as University of Toronto Research grants. It includes both successful and unsuccessful grant applications and includes correspondence, financial statements and applications. External grant applications include Canadian sources such as Connaught and the Social Sciences and Research Council of Canada (SSHRCC) among which is the application for assistance for the First conference on German cliometrics (1998). International grant files include, among others, the Guggenheim Fellowship, 1975, American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS), and IREX Exchange Fellowships. B2008-0027 contains files on a research proposal relating to the Austro-Hungarian Trade, 1878-1913 and correspondence with research assistant Mateusz Brozowski.

Applications were also made for General Research grants from the University of Toronto as well as the Centre for Russian and East European Studies (CREES), Joint Initiative in German and European Studies, and self-funded research grant leaves (1993-2001).

The addresses in this series span much of Dr. le Riche’s career at the University of Toronto and his post-retirement activities. They cover many of the topics mentioned in Series 6.

The records in this series document Professor Helleiner’s association with and involvement in several dozen professional associations and organizations, including consulting contracts with governments and educational bodies. There are also files on many of the journals with which he was associated (he sat on the editorial boards of more than twenty at one time or another, one (World Development) for more than thirty years. Most of the latter contain his comments on papers he was asked to assess. There are also files on some conferences that he attended.

The files contain correspondence, memoranda, notes, minutes of meetings and proceedings of workshops, reports (many written by Helleiner), conference programmes and papers, the occasional interview, and selected newsletters and press clippings. The arrangement is by name of organization or event, filed alphabetically.

The most extensive files are on the following organizations, the binding thread being development economics: African Capacity Building Foundation and the African Economic Research Consortium; with officials and politicians of the Government of Canada and about the Canadian International Development Agency; the Commonwealth Secretariat, the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), and International Lawyers and Economists Against Poverty (ILEAP); the North South Institute, the Overseas Development Council (USA), and the North South Roundtable of the Society for International Development (UK); various activities relating to trade and investment in South Africa (including early opposition to it), and ongoing activities in Tanzania (see below); numerous bodies associated with the United Nations (especially UNICEF and UNCTAD); several universities (Dar es Salaam, Sussex, and the West Indies); the World Bank, and World Development.

The International Development Research Centre (IDRC), founded in Ottawa in 1970, was mandated to support research on the reduction of global poverty and particularly research in (as well as for) developing countries.” It was initially headed by David Hopper, with whom Professor Helleiner worked on the creation of the North-South Institute in 1975-1976. He sat on the Board of the IDRC from 1985 to 1991.

ILEAP grew out of concerns Professor Helleiner raised in his Prebisch lecture at UNCTAD in December, 2000 about the lack of lawyers (and economists) “committed…to the specially defence of the rights of the poorest in the global economy’s legal system and the building of their capacity of defend themselves.” His call was taken up by Ron Daniels, dean of Law at the U of T, and others, with initial funding from the IDRC.

Professor Helleiner’s long association with Tanzania is well documented here, beginning in 1978 with the Government of Tanzania Task Force on Export Incentive Schemes, followed by the Tanzania Advisory Group (“Three Wise Men”) in 1981 and ending,
between 1994 and 2000, with the Group of Independent Advisors on Development Cooperation Issues Between Tanzania and its Aid Donors (which Helleiner chaired) and the associated Tanzania Advisory Strategy.

Additional correspondence on many of these organizations may be found filed under the names of the individual members in Series 2: Correspondence, an example being Roy Culpepper of the North-South Institute.

Of the more than twenty editorial boards on which Professor Helleiner sat, the most extensive files are for International Organization and WorldDevelopment. The files together contain primarily specially ng relating to his membership on editorial boards and/or his appraisals of papers presented to the respective journals. Some related correspondence may be found in ‘Series 2: Correspondence’ under the names of editorial board members.

Professor Helleiner’s involvement with the Intergovernmental Group of Twenty-four on International Monetary Affairs (Group of 24 or G-24) is documented in Series 7 and with WIDER (World Institute for Development Economic Research) in Series 6.

In his curriculum vitae [B2010-0005/001(01) and /019(05)], Professor Helleiner provides lists of “Journal editorial boards”, “Other professional honours and posts”, and “sample selected research contracts and consultancies”. Researchers will find these lists very useful in gaining an understanding of the breadth of Professor Helleiner’s professional activities, while some indication of the depth of his involvement can be gleaned from his memoirs, Listening and learning [B2010-0005/079(02)].

Series consists of material related to the research, writing, and publication, of Prof. Hassanpour’s PhD dissertation, “The Language Faction in National Development: The Standardization of the Kurdish Language 1918 - 1985.” Material includes drafts, proposals, background research, and correspondence. In 1992, the thesis was published as “Nationalism and Language in Kurdistan, 1918-1985”. Material in this series dating after 1989 relates to the publishing and translation of the text.

The correspondence in this series has been received in three separate accruals and consists both of personal and professional correspondence. The arrangement is primarily chronological. The correspondence in B2002-0016 is restricted primarily to the years 1933-1935and is all personal; there are two slim files covering the years 1945 to 1991

Correspondence found in B2003-0012 begins with mainly inward correspondence received by Harding le Riche from family members, especially his mother, brothers and friends while away at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg from 1934 to 1936. Included is a course notebook that includes some diary entries for 1933. Up to 1941, personal and professional correspondence is filed separately but after this date it is interfiled.

There is a run of correspondence for the years 1939-1944, the years during which le Riche was completing his medical studies and gaining professional experience. Beginning in 1942, there are a large number of letters from Margaret Cardross; he married her in December 1943. The volume of correspondence picks up in 1945 when he moved to Knysna, Cape Province, where he established the first health centre for Whites and Euroafricans. The number of letters increased whenever he was separated from his wife, particularly while he was taking his doctorate in public health at Harvard (1949-1950) and during the months he was in Canada (September 1951 to March 1952) prior to bringing over his family. After the latter date, the number of personal letters decreases. There is a steady stream of correspondence for the next forty-five years, with the professional component decreasing after le Riche’s retirement in 1984. Scattered throughout these files are many letters to the editor, some of which were published (the published versions can be found in the scrapbooks in Series 1 and in a file, “letters to the editor”, in Series 6). Beginning in 1997, the number of letters on file decreases rapidly, with the last few being from the year 2000.

Correspondence in B2006-0004 is separated between personal and professional. While there is some personal correspondence beginning in the 1930s and onwards, the bulk of the letters date from the mid 1980s to 2004. There are correspondence files for the 1980s and 1990s from specific family members in South Africa including the Corder Family, Jill Hamilton (Margaret LeRiche’s sister), John Grant (Margaret LeRiche’s brother) and Henriette Louw. Starting in 1990, there are more general files containing Christmas letters from family and friends. Professional correspondence in this accession dates from 1998-2005.

This series consists of research notes and background materials regarding India, South East Asia and Kashmir. It is arranged by subject.

This series consists of research notes and background materials regarding India, South East Asia and Kashmir. It is arranged by subject.

This series documents Professor Warkentin's role as a teacher. Files include course materials such as course outlines, reading lists, assignments, tests, exams and essay topics. The most extensive file are lecture notes which include hand written notes that are accompanied by copies of articles and examples of literary works that Warkentin usually annotated. For some courses these are organized by lecture while for other courses they are arranged by the name of the author being studied. Also included in this series are course evaluations. These are anonymous questionnaires completed by students.

Of particular note are the files relating to course ENG 356F. They contain extensive notes on exploration authors as well as supporting documentation, often annotated by Warkentin. Warkentin eventually published a course anthology in 1993 titled Canadian Exploration Literature: an anthology. These notes would have served as the basis for this publication.

Finally, there is a manuscript of the first lecture Prof. Warkentin gave in 1958 early in her career at United College, Winnipeg.

Arrangement is by course with the evaluations placed at the end of the series. The courses for which there is documentation are listed below.

Series consists of records documenting various issues or initiatives taken up or spearheaded by the ASSU. Especially prominent are the files pertaining to ASSU’s activity surrounding asbestos found in Sidney Smith Hall in the early 1990s and the multiple fee levy referendums conducted by ASSU since its inception in the 1970s. Also included are early renditions of the organization’s constitution, information pamphlets, and newsletters.

These files concentrate on the professional activities of Dr. McCulloch and his colleagues and often contain information about appointments and grant applications. Includes correspondence, curriculum vitae, occasional letters of reference, copies of research papers and offprints of articles, and miscellaneous material.

Prof. Paul's involvement in peace activities dates from the mid-1970's. Included are correspondence, reports, briefs, papers etc from international conferences such as the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute conference on "Technical aspects of control of fissionable materials in non-military applications" (1978), the Canadian Study Group on Arms Control and Disarmament located on the University of Toronto campus and the 40th Anniversary Potsdam Conference. Also included are unpublished and published articles and papers, clippings, colour photoprints and negatives of participants at the Conference on Security and cooperation in Europe.

This series contains files relating to a major research project undertaken over a 10 year period from 1991-2002. Prof. Chambers was the principal investigator. The dialect topography project is described in the grant application as “a set of methods for gathering information on English vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, and usage from representative samples of adults in various Canadian regions, using a standard questionnaire….By correlating language use with social factors…we can determine how men and women use the language, how Canadians differ from Americans at border points, whether young people are using the language differently from their parents and grandparents…” The project consisted of macro-sociolinguistic regional surveys of regions across Canada including the Golden Horseshoe (Ontario), Ottawa Valley, Quebec City, Montreal, New Brunswick, Eastern Townships and Greater Vancouver, as well as adjacent U.S. regions (upstate New York, Maine, Vermont, and Washington).

This series contains files documenting agreements and contracts, grant applications, correspondence and notes, as well as correspondence relating to the various regions where surveys were conducted. The complete databases, including on-line tutorials, are stored on the University of Toronto’s Arts and Science web site at http://homes.chass.utoronto.ca/~chambers/dialect_topography.html

This series contains a diverse set of records documenting many of the main research projects under taken by Prof. Prentice. Many resulted in publications of books and this series therefore relates to records found in Series 7 Publishing. Projects documented include:

1) the history of teachers, especially women in teaching – research was done for a book that was being prepared with Marta Kanylewycz on teachers in Quebec, before her untimely death in 1985

2) women in physics including some oral histories in the form of written notes

3) studies on the status of women in the historical profession – prepared for a session organized for a Canadian Historical Association conference in 1990

4) research on women historians including taped interviews and correspondence on her co-edited book Creating Historical Memory

5) research undertaken as part of the Women and Professional Education Network that resulted in the co-edited book Challenging Professions.

There are also several other smaller research interests documented including research on faculty wives, women on University of Toronto campus, the feminization of maps, as well as a file on the McQueen project undertaken with Margaret Conrad of the University of New Brunswick. Also included are oral histories transcripts and tapes for interviews with Elizabeth Allin, Charity Grant, Jean Burnet, and Bertha Houston. There are also several other interviews contained only on tape including Canadian women scholars Ursala Franklin, Margaret Prang, Debby Gorban as well as several of Prof. Prentice’ graduate students, Australian educational historians and former faculty wives. . B2019-0015 also contained trascripts with Irene Spry and Margaret Ormsby as well as an unpublished paper on physicist/astrophysicist Allie Vibert Douglas.

Files contain extensive correspondence and e-mail mainly among the research partners who were among the first generation of historians to focus on women’s history. The correspondence gives a solid portrayal of the collaborative nature of this research. Also included are research notes and collected essays, drafts of papers and chapters, oral history tapes and transcripts, grant applications and at times correspondence relating to publishing.

This series focuses on Professor Fuss’ teaching career, almost entirely at the University of Toronto, though there are three files on courses he taught at Harvard University between 1969 and 1972. The files contain memoranda and correspondence, notes, course outlines, lecture notes, problem sets, questions for tests and examinations, and some anonymous course evaluations. References to student marks have not been retained. This portion of the series ends with a number of electronic files.

At Harvard Professor Fuss taught principles and the economics of regulation at the undergraduate level and industrial organization, introductory econometrics, advanced econometrics, and microeconomic theory at the graduate level. The surviving files in this series are for the undergraduate course on business organization and public policy and the untitled graduate courses 2210A and 2240A.

The series continues with courses given at the Erindale campus and the St. George campus of the University of Toronto. At the undergraduate level he taught courses in microeconomic theory, industrial organization, econometrics, and economics of regulation. At the graduate level he taught microeconomics theory and econometrics. Included in these are lecture notes given to Professor Fuss by Daniel McFadden at the University of California, Berkeley (where Fuss took his doctorate), and Dale Jorgensen at Harvard University.

Most of the files are in paper format, but there are some electronic files, partly in the form of e-mail. The arrangement is by course number within each institution.

This series documents Dr. Mastromatteo’s research and advocacy in the form of addresses. The addresses in this series are mostly Dr. Mastromatteo’s but there are some addresses by others, possibly sent to him for review or reference purposes. There are also some small amounts of reference material filed with his addresses.

The addresses in this series are mainly about occupational health, with some on environmental issues and human rights issues as they relate to occupational health (for example workers’ compensation). Most addresses in this series were given at meetings of professional associations with a small number of talks given at private companies.

Records in this series include notes, manuscripts, correspondence, projector slides, reports and press clippings.

Series consists of Prof. Cook’s peer reviews and evaluations of her colleagues, specifically her nominations for MacArthur Fellows and evaluations of articles submitted to The Wallace Stevens Journal.

This series consists of two sets of files. The first set relates to Prof. Nelson’s only published book Land and Power: Britain and Allied Policy on Germany’s Frontiers 1916-1919 (University of Toronto Press and Routledge, Keagan Paul, London, 1963). Included is a full typescript with revisions, as well as some earlier drafts. Some drafts are also interfiled with notes found in Series 6 Research Notes. This series also contains some correspondence with the publishers and a signed publication agreement. There is additional correspondence relating to permissions for use of materials. Finally there is a file of collected reviews of the book and informal comments. In 1963, this book shared the George Lewis Beer Prize given by the American Historical Society for ‘outstanding work in the field of European international history since 1895’.

A second set of files relates to research Prof. Nelson undertook late in his career. It was a book on the trial and conviction of a British citizen, Miss Malecka, in 1912 in Russia on a charge of sedition. While one file of notes is dated 1983, records generally indicate that Prof. Nelson began researching the case in earnest in the early 1990s. He was studying it in reference to the question of ‘nationality’ and what it could reveal about Anglo Russian relations prior to WWI. Entitled simply Malecka Case, typescripts begin in 1993 and go through various drafts up to 2004. There is no evidence in the records that Prof. Nelson had sought out a publisher and it is clear the book was never published. These drafts, revisions, outlines and notes have been arranged chronologically.

This series comprises only a small portion of the voluminous professional correspondence Coxeter would have received and produced over his 60 years as a leading international geometer. Except for 4 cm, filed by year (1961-64, 1968-1975) and a smattering of pre 1980 letters filed in the alphabetical series, the majority of the correspondence is dated after Coxeter’s retirement in 1980 to his death in 2002. Nevertheless the 20 years for which correspondence is preserved here, does document the breadth of Coxeter’s professional activities and relationships. There is correspondence with many of his fellow mathematicians and academic from other disciplines such as physics. There are files on some of the best known including: Michael Atiyah, Harold Bohr, Henry Cartan, S. Chandresekhar, Freeman Dyson, Leopold Infeld, G.H. Hardy, Christopher Longuet-Higgins, Benoit Madelbrot, E.H. Neville, Linus Pauling, George Polya, D’Arcy Thompson, Frederick Soddy, Oswald Veblen and Hermann Weyl.

Filed alphabetical by correspondent, most files contain not only correspondence but supporting records that document such things as attendance at conferences, reviewing activities such as referee reports, related research notes, drafts of published articles and talks. There are invitations, correspondence with publishers including contracts, correspondence with professional associations, letters of recommendations and advice to professional and amateur mathematicians alike.

Some of the mathematical colleagues for which there are files include William Moser, his first Ph.D. student, John Synge, Istavan Hargittai, Paolo Dominici, Bezdek Karoly and Asia Weiss, his last PhD student and professor at York University.

Professor Fuss has served as a consultant to government and industry for many years, but only two projects are documented in this series, his work as a member of the Price Measurement Advisory Committee at Statistics Canada and a study he did for United Communications Ltd. on long distance telephone service in Canada.

The first file in this series includes file lists and inventories of Prof. Cameron's records during various points in his career. These may be useful to researchers working with records in other series, as some documents are listed at the item level.

Series also includes 9 photographs: primarily posed portraits and a photograph of Prof. Cameron at the Conference on the University into the 21st century in May 1984.

Material in this series consists of copies of Professor Franceschetti’s curriculum vitae, correspondence on his Canadian citizenship application in 1979, a folder of greeting cards, a copy of his undergraduate thesis from the University of Padua (1963), and three certificates. Please see file listing for additional detail.

Most of this series is comprised of files on the radio broadcast, ‘Proof and truth in mathematics’, that Professor Barbeau presented on the CBC “Ideas” program on 11, 18, and 25 May, 1982. Included is covering correspondence, drafts of the scripts and transcripts of the tapes, and interviews with H.S.M. Coxeter, Chandler Davis, Stillman Drake, Charles V. Jones, Morris Kline, Frank Tall, Gregory Moore and Israel Weinzweig. The remainder of the series consists of a number of other addresses by Professor Barbeau and one by Serge Lang. The arrangement is chronological.

Prof. Cameron joined the Board of the Forum of Federations in 2002. His work with the Forum led him to provide technical support to the Sri Lankan Peace Process, which was seeking resolution to the dispute between the Sri Lankan government and the Tamil Tigers. Prof. Cameron participated in peace process meetings in Sri Lanka (26-30 April 2002, 30 August-5 September 2002) Sri Lanka/Oslo (25 November-5 December), London (22-23 December), Thailand (3-10 January 2003), Berlin (5-9 February 2003), and Sri Lanka/Tokyo (10-20 March 2003; 24 August-3 September 2004; 26 March-7 April 2005). He also wrote papers and delivered presentations on peace and governance in Sri Lanka.

Records in this series include correspondence, reports, research, proposals from the Tamil Tigers and Sri Lankan government, and articles and presentations on the peace process. Records from particular peace talks include press releases, debriefing comments, texts of speeches, correspondence, maps and other travel documents, news clippings, and notes.

Series also consists of 2 photographs of Prof. Cameron, taken on his travels.

Files in this series contain correspondence, invitations, talk outlines and notes, manuscripts or typescripts of lectures. They document Etkin’s varied engagements as a speaker. Included are formal invited seminars, addresses at professional meetings and conferences as well as popular lectures to non-professional groups on various aspects of his research in aviation. There are records documenting his series of lectures at Stanford University in 1973 as well as honorary lectureships such as The Rupert Turnbull Lecture awarded by the Canadian Aeronautics and Space Institute (1969) and the Wrights Brother’s Lectures awarded by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (1980).

Also included are talks that relate to the history of aeronautical engineering or discuss themes around engineering education. Of particular interest to researchers studying the history of Institute of Aerospace Studies is the G.N. Patterson Lecture in 1989 entitled “The Story of UTIAS” that gives a good recollection of the IAS from Etkin’s perspective.

Finally, Etkin enjoyed giving what he called “popular lectures” that mainly relate, in laymen’s terms, to research being undertaken in the field of aeronautical engineering.

This series contains lectures for many of the courses Prof. McIlwraith taught, focused on his particular area of expertise of historical geography . Reading lists, course outlines, term tests and exams have also been included. Arranged by course number as listed in Appendix 1.

For similar type files documenting Prof. McIlwraith’s teaching, see Series 4: Tenure Documentation.

Records in this series document Prof. McIlwraith active involvement in various conservation groups or initiatives. It includes records relating to his time on the Ministry of Culture, Conservation Review Board of which he was a member and vice chair. Drawing on his academic expertise, he often prepared reports for the Board on properties under review. As a Board member he also acted as one the adjudicators for cases brought before the Board. Other committees documented here are the Cultural Policy Advisory Committee for the Mississauga Arts Council, Mississauga Local Architecture Conservation Advisory Committee (LACAC), and the Erindale College Plaque Committee.

Files contain reports, memos, correspondence and, in some cases, hand drawn maps and photographs.

Professor Helleiner was frequently asked to review grant applications submitted to agencies as varied as the Canada Council, the Ford Foundation, and the Swedish Agency for Research Co-operation. He was also often asked to review manuscripts submitted to journals, book publishers, and government agencies. His colleagues also knew that he would provide careful commentary on drafts of articles, chapters of books, and reports they were writing.
This series documents these activities, and the files are grouped by the categories mentioned.
Additional information may also be found in other series, especially 2, 5, 6, and 7.

The files contain correspondence, grant applications, and drafts of manuscripts.

This series begins with a large volume of correspondence regarding invitaitons to give conference papers, lectures, and public addresses, and to lead or participate in seminars, workshops, and related events.

This series documents Prof Garrison various administrative roles within the Department of Astronomy. Included are committee files, files on 50th anniversary of the David Dunlop Observatory and extensive records on the discovery of the Super Nova by Ian Shelton.

Series consists of material related to ASSU’s relationship with other student groups, including those within the University of Toronto (Students’ Administrative Council, Graduate Students’ Union, Association of Part-Time Undergraduate Students, Campus Coalition, etc.) as well as outside (Ontario Federation of Students/Fédération des étudiants L’Ontario, Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance, and other universities). Records include correspondence and meeting minutes documenting ASSU’s collaboration with other student groups, as well as reports, position statements and other material issued independently by other student groups.

Series consists of records relating to Prof. Cameron's work on constitutional renewal, particularly at the provincial level, after his return to academia. This especially pertains to his advisory work for the Ontario Government and its Premier. Records in this series relate to various groups and meetings, and attempts were made to keep records from each group (or set of meetings) together. In some cases, groups were interfiled together, in which case such segregation was not possible.

Series includes autobiographical writings, short biographies and transcripts to several interviews.

Professor Falls was much sought after as a speaker, both at academic conferences and other functions and by the general public. He was very obliging so over the course of more than fifty years he gave a large number of talks. Some of them are included in this series. The arrangement is chronological, and the files contain, in addition to the addresses themselves, notes, correspondence, and some background material.

The talks Professor Falls gave ranged across the spectrum of his research. Though he gave a number on small mammals, his most popular ones were on bird songs (see box 036(25)), for example] but not only to the general public. He gave a number of papers on his research on the western and eastern meadowlarks and the white-throated sparrow, in particular, at conferences ranging from those of the American Ornithologists Union and the International Ornithologists Committee (he chaired the scientific program of 19th congress of the latter in Ottawa in 1986 but also gave papers at Oxford, Berlin and Moscow) to the Wilson Ornithological Society. He was in close contact with many universities who invited him to give lectures, seminars and participate in field studies. Amongst these were the University of British Columbia, where he gave several seminars on birds in 1973, Rutgers University, Rockefeller University, Cornell, and the University of Wisconsin (1986). But he also was available for less formal presentations to students, especially at the University of Toronto, where he gave talks to student clubs and through the Division of University Extension, and across southern Ontario.

Series consists of selected reference material collected by Prof. Hassanpour that is considered rare. Records include handwritten manuscripts, original historical documents, original or copied historical newspapers (mainly in Kurdish and Persian), bulletins, political declaration and reports. Subject matter covers Kurdish nationalism, political movements in Kurdistan and Iran, human rights, and language. Recordings include documentation of 1970s internationalist student activism, recordings of several P.M. Dr. Mossadiq 1950s speeches, and Kurdish pop, ballad, and folk music.

This series documents Dr. Moldofsky’s research activities, in particular, his two major research projects on Microgravity, Sleep and Immune Functions in Humans (SWIF) with the Canadian Space Agency and NASA, funded through the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

The first project (1995-1999) studied the influence of gravity change on sleep and the immune system in astronauts. The aim of this research was to further advance the studies of disordered sleep and altered immune functions observed in distressing circumstances, and in patients with psychiatric (major depression) and medical conditions (i.e. fibromyalgia, post febrile chronic fatigue syndrome). This experiment was conducted during the Mir 23/NASA 4 and Mir 24 missions in 1997-1998.

The second project of the same title (2000-2003) involved experiments carried out in space but then subsequently lost during the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster. This second phase aimed to understand bone loss in astronauts in space as well as osteoporosis on Earth, believing that chemical changes in the human immune system – possibly triggered by sleep deprivation – could instead be a major cause of bone loss in space and on the ground (as opposed to just microgravity).

Included in this series: grant applications; correspondence; files related to visits to the Russian Space Agency in Star City and the Johnson Space Center in Houston (including photographs); baseline data collection (BDC) data sets; and final reports. Also included are EEG electrode caps used by American and Russian astronauts aboard the MIR space station.

This series is divided into three sub-series: a) general correspondence, primarily incoming but with including some copies of responses, arranged chronologically and covering the years 1963-2004; b) carbon copies of “out” correspondence (1971-1988) with some additional documentation, arranged chronologically; and c) correspondence by author, arranged alphabetically. A few of the responses in the first sub-series are duplicated in the “out” correspondence. The first two sub-series are inter-related and the correspondence in all three sub-series ranges widely over Professor Guillet’s activities as a professor and his own experimental and development work. There are also a few letters on personal matters scattered throughout the first sub-series.

The correspondence arranged by author covers the years 1976 to 2002 and the seven correspondents – Bruce Balcom, Robert W. Billingsley, William Robert Bruce, Ramin Farnood, Joachim Klein, Michiel Kruijff, and Alastair North, range from colleagues and visiting professors to scientists involved with Professor Guillet’s research projects.
