Notes -- Hot Research Ideas, September 10, 1973

The Research series is housed in seven archival boxes and is arranged alphabetically by the last names of Dr. Traub's research partners. This series contains notes, papers, and correspondence. Overall, the arrangement and materials in this series closely relate to the Publication series (series six). Together, the Early Career series and the Research series cover the duration of Traub's research career. General notes taken during Traub's early work in the Bell Telephone Laboratories (1960-1971) can be found in the Early Career series (series one). In the Research series, Traub's general research files from 1972- 1982 are arranged chronologically in the beginning of the series. This series also includes general research files which Traub labeled "Research Ideas" and which contain handwritten notes about possible future research.

Following these folders, the bulk of this series are research files that have been created for each of Traub's research partners. Multiple research projects with common partners (e.g. Wozniakowski) are grouped chronologically by the title of the published paper so that all materials pertaining to a particular publication can be found together. Published papers and research done by Dr. Traub alone can be found under "Traub." This series contains materials that support his research and publications. They include numerous notes, correspondence with publishers and research partners, handwritten or proof-read drafts of papers, and a few articles connected with his research. A few files for student thesis work are also included in this series.
