Scope and content
These files represent the most extensive series in this accession. They document quite extensively three decades of Yates' work and contributions in the field of organic chemistry. Files can contain a number of different types of records ranging from correspondence to manuscripts, to research reports, to original data and research notes. Those that relate specifically to publications often contain revised manuscripts and referees' reports.
Dr. Yates arranged his research and publication files alphabetically by the name of the person with whom he was engaged in research and/or publishing. To facilitate access to this series, a file list as well as a list of Yates' publications have been provided. Should researchers wish to consult this series regarding a specific area of research or a specific publication, they are advised to consult the bibliography first, noting the names of the colleagues with whom he published and then request the files on these individuals by consulting the file list.
