The Ray and Cary Cooper Science Collection consists of books, journals, clippings, photographs, correspondence, and signatures from prominent figures in the history of science (aeronautics, chemistry, physics, technology), and the development of the atomic bomb. Materials in the collection cover the latter half of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Many of the books and journals have been cataloged individually and can be found in the University of Florida's library catalog. Included in this finding aid are a variety of manuscript materials including signatures, photographs, clippings, and letters.
