        Paul Ehrlich papers, 1840-2000, bulk 1878-1971

        54.92 Cubic Feet 160 containers 48.25 Cubic Feet

        The Ehrlich papers, a special collection of the Rockefeller University, consists of copy books and their typescripts, laboratory notes, correspondence, photographs, books, diplomas, obituary material and memorabilia. There is very little incoming correspondence in this collection, although a synopsis of about 450 letters is available. This synopsis may have been prepared by Martha Marquardt, Paul Ehrlich's secretary for many years. Many original letters by Paul Ehrlich, both handwritten and typed, with his signature are part of this collection. These letters seem to have been collected by the recipients and returned to Mrs. Ehrlich after her husband's death. Mrs. Ehrlich may also have requested reminiscences about her husband by his friends and colleagues which she collected, hoping to yield suitable material for a biography at a later time.
