Scope and Content Note
Series V. Karl W. Böer’s Professional Writing
Extent: 10.75 linear ft. (Boxes 44 – 54)Dates: 1950-2004
Contents: Published works, correspondence, drafts, research notes, research material, graphs and figures
Arrangement: Four subseries, reflecting separately maintained sequences of published and draft writings. File numbering sequences begin anew with each subseries, and the first subseries follows a numerical system originally maintained by Böer. The third subseries has irregular file numbers, as explained in the contents list.
Description:
Series V. chronicles Karl W. Böer’s professional writings.
The publications span 54 years (1950-2004) and encompass the
majority of Böer’s career. This series reflects Böer’s
enormous contribution to the solar energy community and his
close work with colleagues and research assistants. The
attached document,
Appendix ,
provides a bibliographic
listing of Böer’s writings. The files have been separated
into four sub-series labeled “Numbered Publications” (as
originally maintained by Böer), “Correspondence,” “Draft
Files,” and “Research Publications.” The four subseries
follow closely original order of the files as they were
received.
Series V.A. Numbered Publications uses an internal numbering system designed and maintained by Böer’s administrative assistant. The numbering system is roughly chronological, tracking professional publications throughout Böer’s career. Original copies of the assistant’s lists were included with the collection and can be found in a preliminary folder in Box 44. There are several gaps in this subseries because many of the original numbered publications were not available in hard copy. The majority of publications before 1962 are in German.
Series V.B. Correspondence comprises only fifteen folders. The bulk of the correspondence is between Böer and various colleagues concerning manuscripts, publication plans, and article reprint requests.
Series V.C. Drafts contains files of drafts, notes, correspondence, and figures. The few drafts in this series show evidence of extensive revisions, as well as articles not included in subseries V.A. Also retained were the original copies of figures, charts, and graphs that were published in conjunction with the articles. Series V.C.1. contains drafts, figures, and tables corresponding to Böer’s numeric system of identification for published writings (Appendix V.1). Series V.C.2. contains other drafts, figures, and tables, and includes material related to Böer’s two-volume Survey of Semiconductor Physics (1990-1992). V.C.2 also contains drafts of unpublished works, including one book-length project.
Series V.D. Research Publications by Others were collected by Böer as sources for his own publications and his general research files. Many of the articles contain notes related to Böer’s publication efforts. They are roughly arranged by topical categories assigned by Böer; however, this series of files arrived with out a clearly identifiable principle of organization; this original order has largely been maintained. Additionally, this series contains miscellaneous drafts, figures, and other materials that appear to pertain to Böer’s general research interests, and that could not be more precisely identified. The publications are not itemized in this finding aid.
