Lab Inventory


Psychobiology Laboratory - Inventory by Record Group

Key to Inventory

This inventory was created by staff of the Alan M. Chesney Medical Archives at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, prior to moving the Richter collection from its original laboratory location to off-site storage. The inventory is keyed to the rooms in the laboratory in which specific sets of records were housed (see laboratory floorplan). The letters and numbers in the left-hand column indicate the original location of the documents, and the remaining information indicates the nature of the material using Richter's own labelling and filing conventions wherever possible.

The room designations are:
