This collection contains a large variety of media materials, including news reports, interviews with staff, press conferences, lab footage, symposia, meetings, and others. Formats include VHS, audio cassette, BetaCam, DVD, CD, and others. The majority of the materials were created during the years of the Human Genome Project (1990-2003) but also include more recent materials.
