The Dr. Janet Mertz Collection is comprised of materials accumulated during her time at the graduate school of Stanford University. A majority of the materials are laboratory notebooks and slides from work in Paul Berg’s lab in the biochemistry department, and the research leading up to and following the creation of the first recombinant DNA. The collection also includes her 1975 thesis and email correspondence with producers Meredith DeSalazar and Lily Garrison for two separate documentaries made in 2019 and 2020.
