The Pauling Catalogue - http://paulingcatalogue.org

"[Pauling's] concern for the humanitarian and ethical consequences of scientific discovery add an extra dimension of analysis for historians of science. It is fitting that his archivists have now published one of the finest catalogs for the papers of an individual scientist....The Pauling Catalogue is well worth the $125 purchase price and is a must-have for any Pauling researcher or university library."
Review by Gregory J. Morgan and Emily A. Jones, Spring Hill College. Journal of the History of Biology, Vol. 41, No. 2 (June 2008): 403-406.

"For the illustrations alone, nearly twelve hundred of them, anyone interested in Pauling's life should buy the catalogue . . . [The Pauling Catalogue] provides an immense amount of information about Linus Pauling and his times and will be the invaluable source of material for future biographies."
Review by Jack Dunitz, ETH-Zürich, Switzerland. Bulletin for the History of Chemistry, Vol. 33, No. 1 (2008): 45-46.

"The catalog is ideal for historians of science, and is engaging for browsing by chemists, students, and general readers....Highly recommended."
Review by A. Viste, emeritus, Augustana College. CHOICE, 45-0288, (September 2007).

"It constitutes an invaluable resource for historians of science and chemistry, scholars of science policy, and advocates of the peace movement, along with practicing chemists and scientists interested in the history of their fields, especially during the 20th century. It belongs in every academic library."
