The Martha Ludwig papers encompass her career at the University of Michigan mostly dealing with the Biophysics Research Division. The papers cover the years from 1974 to 2007, but the majority of the materials fall within the years from 1988 to 2002. The Martha Ludwig collection includes four series: Correspondence, Biophysics Research Division (BRD), Life Science Collaborative Access Team (LS-CAT), and Reviews and Evaluations.
