Affirmative Action, The Spokeswoman,, 1971-1973
Scope and Contents
Dr. Petermann's papers are fairly limited in their scope. Consisting of correspondence, SKI laboratory operations information, affirmative action files, photographs, and memorabilia, the records amount to one cubic foot of documents, one cubic foot of photograhs, and one third cubic foot of memorabilia.
The papers generally describe Petermann's activities at Sloan-Kettering Institute. Her correspondence, which spans her affiliation with SKI, includes developments in her lab as well as related research being conducted in other labs. Budgetary information from 1960 - 1963 explains monthly activities in her lab during that four year period. Copies of her 1939 Ph.D. thesis and her monograph The Physical and Chemical Properties of Ribosomes, in their pre-published form, are among the materials.
Her views and activities regarding affirmative action are evident in the Association of Women in Science Series (AWIS).
