The records in this series are textual and consist of Byron Kratochvil’s professional correspondence files, pre-dating his position at the University of Alberta and continuing post-retirement. The papers are organized chronologically within each file and within each sub-series. The records are in excellent physical condition.

This record series encompasses the correspondence Byron Kratochvil maintained with colleagues, graduate students, research institutes, and the subject matter is almost always related to his teaching, research, or arrangements for visiting speakers and professional association conferences. The first sub-series is ‘Letters of Recommendation’, and includes letters of support, reference, and recommendation written by Professor Kratochvil for colleagues and students to support their various job applications, research grant applications, awards, and appointments. The second sub-series involves General Correspondence and includes exchanges with colleagues, students, and relates to shared research interests, seminar arrangements, and scientific meetings. The final sub-series includes Correspondence with Individuals, and is often related to faculty promotion considerations and visiting speaker arrangements.

The series title is based on the content of the records.

The records in this series are those that were received jointly from Byron Kratochvil and W. E. Harris in 1981, documenting the writing and publishing of their chemistry texts. The text books were among the first books printed via the University of Alberta’s Computer Department. The files contain various working drafts of the texts, documenting the many addendums, additions, and corrections made before their final versions were published. There are computer runs, and related research files and illustrative material used in the writing of the books. Many of the files are oversized and stored in over-sized boxes. The records are in good physical condition.

The records in this series document the writing and publishing of W. E. Harris’s and Byron Kratochvil’s chemistry text books, including: “Teaching Introductory Analytical Chemistry”; “Chemical Separations and Measurements, Background and Procedures for Analysis”; and An Introduction to Chemical Analysis”. The bulk of the records, by far, document the writing of the third text: “An Introduction to Chemical Analysis”. Included in the series are draft chapters for correction and review for all the texts, along with chapter consolidations and suggested art work and illustrative material, and for the ‘Introduction’ text, review copies, page printer outputs and line printer outputs.
