Collection spans the entire scope of Glaser's life, research, and academic work. Includes extensive files and correspondence documenting his research grant proposals and reports; laboratory experiments and operations; patents; development, acquisition and use of instruments; course notes, lectures, and syllabi; consultancies; notes, records, and reports relating to the Cetus and Chiron corporations; and the Nobel Insitute. Some of the earliest and most valuable material is contained in seven manuscript research notebooks compiled while Glaser conceived of and constructed the first bubble chamber.
