content: This series contains Richards files relating to topics in microscopy and advancements in the field from its early history through the 1980s.  They appear to have been kept by Richards for reference purposes.  Most of the files are organized by type of microscope or by research topic.  Also included are publications and journal articles, trade literature, correspondence, and advertising clippings.  Richard's original file organization was retained, with previously unsorted materials interfiled where appropriate.
