註釋

The collection consists primarily of typewritten letters and documents, with some handwritten material, and a substantial amount of photographs, newspaper clippings, maps and blueprints, all relating to the establishment, history and administration of the Lerner Marine Laboratory. Types of documents include: financial reports, such as correspondence with contributors, contributor lists, bank statements and bills; research reports, and other reports on the facilities of the laboratory and on the environment of the site; information on symposia held at the laboratory; letters of application from potential researchers; newsletters; and publicity news clippings and brochures. Photographs depict the facilities and the activities of the researchers. Much of the correspondence of Michael Lerner concerns the establishment of the laboratory and fundraising, while the correspondence of the resident director, Robert F. Mathewson, concerns the operation of the facilities. Other correspondents from pt. I of the collection (AMNH staff) include Robert G. Goelet, Thomas D. Nicholson, James A. Oliver, Albert E. Parr, Jerome G. Rozen, Gardner D. Stout, James C. Tyler and Jerome Wodinsky. Letters from ichthyologist C. Lavett Smith and material from the U.S. Office of Naval Research are included in part VII (Projects, programs, studies, and grants). Pt. VIII is an extensive series of files on contributors, containing information on Leonard Bernstein, Alan Jay Lerner (Michael Lerner's nephew) and Thomas J. Watson, Jr., and III, both of IBM, and many others. Fundraising in hopes of preventing the closing of the laboratory forms a substantial part of the later correspondence. Included in the collection is an article by Philip Wylie, titled The Lerner Marine Laboratory, reprinted from the Sept. 1948 issue of Natural history magazine.
