Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory has been home to many prominent scientists over the years. The archives has made a special effort to preserve the memory of these individuals. We house an extensive collection of photographs, documents, and original scientific papers and notebooks.

Combining this rich collection with a series of interviews, this website profiles several scientists through writen history, photography, and antecdotes from friends and colleagues. We aim to offer a true sense of the scientist and the person.
