Jack Dunitz Papers, 1927-2009

1. Correspondence and Non-Dunitz Publications. 1932-2009, undated.

The folders in this series contain correspondence and publications by specific authors, as maintained by Dunitz. The correspondence materials include traditional letters as well as a large volume of emails and word processing files printed out over time by Dunitz. Highlights of the series include lengthy exchanges with a number of notable scientists including Carleton Gajdusek, Dorothy Hodgkin and Kenneth Trueblood. The activities of the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre are also well-documented in this series, as is Dunitz's work in preparing his Biographical Memoirs of the Royal Society article on Linus Pauling.
