Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

This collection contains the paper materials of former NHGRI Directors James Watson, Michael Gottesman and Francis Collins, created and accumulated during their respective tenures as Directors of the NHGRI (formerly the NCHGR) from 1990 to 2008.

Many of the files in this collection also predate the creation of the institute, including files from the early planning meetings for what would become the Human Genome Project in the mid to late 1980s.

The bulk of this collection contains materials related to the Human Genome Project, including an the worlds largest single repository of ELSI historical records. It also includes important historical materials from other NHGRI-led initiatives such as the International HapMap Project, ENCODE, eMERGE, 1000 Genomes, the SNP Consortium, GWAS history, and many others. It also includes materials related to the yearly operations of NHGRI, including planning meetings, budget information, congressional testimony, correspondence, international travel records, academic papers, meeting agendas and minutes, handwritten notes, drafts of manuscripts, and others.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Numerous items described in the finding aid have not been digitized and there is no guarantee that any specific file or folder can readily be able to be made available.
