Consists of general correspondence and subject files dating primarily from 1968 to 1972. The incoming and outgoing correspondence is arranged alphabetically by name of individual, name of organization, or subject. A general file for each letter of the alphabet precedes other files for the same letter of the alphabet (ie.: "A" precedes "American Institute of Chemists"). Items within the files are arranged chronologically by year, month, and day. Partially dated items are placed at the end of the month or year; undated items are placed after dated material. Enclosures are placed after their letter of transmittal. The correspondence concerns a wide range of Rabinowitch's interests including his publications, his lectures, and his work as a teacher and researcher. Files relating to the Atomic Energy Commission, the National Science Foundation, and the Research Foundation of the State University of New York document Rabinowitch's research in the field of photosynthesis and the grants, which supported this research. Rabinowitch's interest in the relation of science and technology to public policy and international affairs is detailed in his correspondence files with men such as Hubert H. Humphrey and Frank Church as well as files such as those concerning the Sakharov Memorandum or the Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists.
