The Research series documents various aspects of Crosby's career in neuroanatomical investigation and experimentation. Included are records from both the 1982 and 1994 acquisitions, relating to research projects on various topics such as neuroanatomical aspects of space sickness and cell masses of the forebrain (conducted either by Crosby alone or in conjunction with other scientists), research grant applications, typed manuscripts of articles on the anatomy of the human brain, course material developed for an anatomy course which clearly displays the close relationship between Crosby's teaching and her research, hand-drawn neuroanatomical illustrations, handwritten laboratory notebooks (ca. 1920s) and handwritten notes tabulating the results from various neuroanatomical experiments on animals performed by Crosby (ca. 1918). This series is particularly valuable in exemplifying the scope and breadth of Crosby's research efforts throughout her career, and the meticulous care and attention she displayed in all her experimental endeavors. Materials received in the 1982 acquisition are subdivided, research performed by Crosby and research performed by other scientists.
