Isabella Karle Papers, 1930-2010 (continued)
BOX 17-42 Speeches and Writings, 1944-2008
The Speeches and Writings subseries comprises files related to articles, reports, speeches, lectures, and book chapters written by Isabella Karle, mostly from 1960 to 2003. The files contain drafts, working files, figures, illustrations, research data, notes, abstracts, and correspondence. Frequent collaborators represented in the subseries include Darshan Ranganathan, Subramania Ranganathan, Padmanabhan Balaram, and Bernhard Witkop. The bulk of the speeches and writings correspond to the molecular structure analyses contained in Karle’s Research File. Published structures of these complex organic and inorganic substances include steroids, alkaloids, toxins, ionophores, and, especially, peptides, and relate to such varied topics as the transport of ions, protection against radiation damage, energetic and propellant materials, antimalarials, antibiotics, non-addicting analgesics, shock, neurotoxins, explosives, and nitrogen compounds. Also present in the subseries are Isabella’s lecture files from a variety of x-ray crystallography study institutes, many of which include lectures she presented with Jerome Karle. For additional materials from these study institutes, as well as writings and speeches written in collaboration with Jerome, see the Collaborations series. Additional writings, speeches, and related materials are interspersed throughout the Research File and Subject File.
Material types include articles, notes, research, data, figures, illustrations, correspondence, conference programs, abstracts, speeches, travel files, photographs, and bibliographies. Some textual and visual materials are in digital formats.

BOX 42-55 Subject File, 1947-2010
The Subject File subseries comprises files from a variety of Karle’s professional efforts, and include name files, travel files, grant files, and slides. Name files contain correspondence, draft publications, notes, clippings, photographs, and crystallographic data related to specific projects undertaken by Karle and the identified individual. Travel files largely consist of Defense Department memoranda that detail Karle’s attendance at conferences, meetings, award ceremonies, and lecture engagements. Grant files include applications, progress reports, and correspondence related to the National Institutes of Health-funded “X-Ray Diffraction Studies of Oligopeptides” project from 1981 to 2008. The subseries also contains referee comments and recommendations by Karle. Of particular interest are the recommendations Karle wrote for her daughters Louise Karle Hanson and Jean Karle Dean, both of whom pursued careers in the field of chemistry. The associated correspondence in these files contains some of the only references in the collection to Jerome and Isabella Karle’s family life. Slides, arranged by subject, likely relate to speeches, lectures, and presentations though are not identified as such.
Material types include correspondence, publications, notes, clippings, slides, photographs, research data, memoranda, applications, reports, letters of recommendation, and travel files. Some textual materials are in digital formats
