Correspondence

The Correspondence series has been divided into four subseries, three by time period (and then alphabetically) and one for Moore's correspondence with Albert Krueger. Much of the 1927-1940 correspondence pertains to Moore's role as professor of electrical engineering at the University of Michigan, and covers a wide variety of topics in electrical engineering and teaching. The 1944-1964 correspondence focuses largely on biology and his research for an unpublished study entitled, "Comparative Animal Energy." The 1965-1984 correspondence consists largely of material describing Moore's retirement activities, particularly his traveling and electrostatics lectures and demonstrations. The Albert Krueger subseries covers the period, 1972-1981, and consists of correspondence with Krueger, a medical doctor at the University of California-Berkeley. Krueger's main area of interest involved the biological effects of air ionization.
