Abstract: The Priscilla A. Schaffer papers principally consist of records generated as a product of Schaffer’s research on infectious disease and strains of herpes simplex virus (HSV) and teaching activities at Baylor College of Medicine (Houston, Texas), Harvard Medical School (Boston, Massachusetts), and the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia. Records include the development of classes and lectures on virological topics, as well as her work with graduate students (Series I and II). Also included is correspondence with other researchers in the field of virology, particularly those interested in receiving samples of experimental material from Schaffer’s lab. A small amount of personal information (Series III) includes photographs, award certificates, and correspondence related to Schaffer's early academic career in the 1960s. Records include grant applications, correspondence, laboratory notebooks, regulatory lab records, photographs, and awards given to Schaffer over the course of her career.
