DESCRIPTION 
These are records created and collected by Austin Brues during his lifetime. Brues 
was the first director of the Argonne National Laboratory Biology Division and a 
member of the Metallurgical Laboratory staff. They are the residuum of a larger collection 
that was reviewed by members of the Center for Human Radiobiology in the late 
1980s and early 1990s. The staff of the Center selected items for integration into its 
own collection and destroyed others that were considered irrelevant. This series 
includes correspondence files containing letters, memorandums, notes, trip reports, 
and lectures. The series also includes an extensive collection of journal article reprints 
related to Brues' professional interests in the health effects of radiation and biology, 
laboratory notebooks, slides, and photographs. A folder title listing is available to this 
series. (See Health Effects of Internally Deposited Radioactivity: Austin Brues Subseries.)
