1967, (1961-1966, 1968)

This series spans the years 1942 to 1968 with the bulk of other material dating from 1953 to 1968. The records contain correspondence, memoranda, research proposals, and reports regarding specific government contracts but not the contract itself. The predominant grant-supporting agencies include the National Science Foundation and the Office of Naval Research. The files contain a chronology for Project SWOP, part of Office of Naval Research grant 769 (box 20, f. 39). Falling within this series are Terminated Contracts: Original, executed, dating from 1942-1963 (boxes 28, 29). These materials contain contract files from various government branches, predominantly from the Air Force, Bureau of Aeronautics, Bureau of Ordnance, Bureau of Ships, Fish and Wildlife Service, Office of Naval Research, and US Weather Bureau. There is also information about Aluminaut and Alvin . After 1968 information on grants is found in the Activities series. Prior to 1968 the Activities series, 1954-1959, also contained numerous files on National Science Foundation grants (box 22, ff.10-35).
