The papers of Maxine Frank Singer (1931- ) span the years 1950-2004,
with the bulk of the material dating from 1970 to 1995. The collection consists
of correspondence, laboratory notebooks, subject files, research material,
reports, speeches and writings, printed matter, and miscellaneous items
documenting Singer's career as a biochemist specializing in the field of RNA
and DNA research, as an advisor and spokesperson on science policy issues, and
as president of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. The papers include
correspondence and clippings in French, Greek, Italian, and Japanese and are
organized in the following series:
Correspondence,
Laboratory
Notebooks,
Recombinant DNA
File,
Subject
File,
Conferences and
Meetings,
Miscellany,
and
Oversize.
The
Correspondence series contains letters, memoranda,
telegrams, cards, and enclosures that refer to Singer's research, public
advocacy, and administrative appointments over a period of four decades. Singer
began her career as a postdoctoral fellow studying nucleic acids in the
laboratory of Leon A. Heppel at the National Institutes of Health. The
Correspondence highlights her contributions to research in biochemistry and
molecular biology at the institute, including her experiments with enzymes, DNA
transcription, and LINE-1 mammalian DNA sequences, as well as her research on
simian virus 40 during a sabbatical from 1971 to 1972 at the Weizmann Institute
of Science in Rehovot, Israel. While at the National Institutes of Health,
Singer became increasingly concerned with the scientist's role in society and
the insight her discipline could bring to such public policy disputes as gender
equality in hiring and promotion practices and the Vietnam War. The
Correspondence reflects her growing interest in social issues and her concern
for the ethical use of biotechnologies and for the cause of scientific freedom
at home and abroad. Although there is some overlap, the series is generally
arranged chronologically from 1955 to 1988 and alphabetically from 1989 to
2002, the latter coinciding with Singer's term as president of the Carnegie
Institution of Washington, and contains notable correspondents including David
Baltimore, Paul Berg, Carl Djerassi, Marianne Grunberg-Manago, Leon A. Heppel,
Har Gobind Khorana, Hans L. Kornberg, and James Watson.
The evolution of Singer's research interests and activities,
particularly during her early years as a scientist, is evident in the
Laboratory
Notebooks series. Volumes from her postdoctoral fellowship at the
National Institutes of Health contain the protocols, raw data, and conclusions
from her experiments in RNA enzyme structure and function. The notes from the
1960s record her work with, among others, Marshall Nirenberg's team in
deciphering the genetic code and her collaboration with Har Gobind Khorana.
Later notebooks document Singer's work with viral RNA that began during her
sabbatical at the Weizmann Institute of Science. The bulk of the notebooks
detail her work under Heppel from 1957 to 1964.
In the 1970s, the scientific community examined methods of minimizing
the potential environmental and evolutionary hazards involved in the newly
emerging field of recombinant DNA research. Singer's participation in the
discussion is well documented in the
Recombinant DNA
File. An index to the series precedes the material that is organized by
the original numbers assigned to the ring binders from which the items were
removed. Items not included in the binders are arranged chronologically as
reference material. The files from 1973 to 1975 focus on the Asilomar
Conference on Recombinant DNA Molecules that was co-organized by Singer.
Conference participants reviewed the potential benefits and hazards of
recombinant research and discussed the need to impose restrictions on the new
technology. The series illustrates the growing public demand for stricter
federal regulations and recounts the preparation and release of the National
Institutes of Health's Guidelines on Recombinant DNA Research in 1976. The bulk
of the material in this series dates from 1977 to 1980 when the research
guidelines were revised and a federal recombinant DNA research bill was
proposed and reworked. In response to these legislative initiatives, Singer,
along with colleagues David Baltimore, Stanley N. Cohen, Donald S. Fredrickson,
and Joshua Lederberg, appeared at several congressional hearings to present
reports and provide expert testimony, copies of which can be found in this
series.
The
Subject
File covers a broad range of topics reflecting Singer's roles in service
to science and the community and largely corresponds to her administration as
president of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. The series includes
material collected by Singer concerning various biochemists, biologists,
geneticists, government officials, molecular biologists, and other scientists
and associates including Pushpa M. Bhargava, D. P. Burma, Joseph S. Fruton,
Dean H. Hamer, Claude B. Klee, Jacek Skowronski, and Carl Wu. Singer served on
the boards and committees of many corporate, scientific, and public service
organizations, and a substantial volume of files is devoted to her work with
these institutions and associations. In addition, extensive files document her
close affiliation with the Carnegie Institution of Washington, National
Institutes of Health, Weizmann Institute of Science, and Yale University.
Additional material located throughout the series depicts Singer's interest in
diverse topics such as the promotion of science education, creationism and the
teaching of evolution, science-related legislation, and the publication of
fraudulent scientific data.
The
Conferences and
Meetings series records Singer's participation in professional
conferences, seminars, symposia, and other meetings as a prominent biochemist
and scientific advisor. The majority of the files, particularly those from 2000
to 2002, contains information about travel and scheduling arrangements and
includes items from these events such as summary reports, clippings, and
statements. Additional information regarding Singer's participation at selected
conferences and meetings can be found in the
Recombinant DNA
File and the
Subject
File.
Following her appointment as president of the Carnegie Institution of
Washington in 1988, Singer became a frequent speaker and writer who was in high
demand as an authority on topics such as genetics, the formulation of
guidelines for recombinant DNA research, and women in science. The
Miscellany
series contains correspondence, notes, and drafts of Singer's speeches,
lectures, and writings. Material concerning her collaborations with biochemist
Paul Berg offers insight on the publication of their books on gene theory and
the history of genetic research. The series also includes a few items of a more
personal nature such as awards and certificates, photographs, and a diary
account and mementos of trips and family vacations.
The collection is arranged in seven series:
