and a photo from Dr. Ziegler's term as the UCSF appointed trustee to the Marin Community Foundation's Bucks Family Trust.
This collection contains ephemera, correspondence, research papers, grant proposals and research studies. The majority of

The "Ephemera" and "Various Papers" folders consist primarily of the work of others, though some biographical information

Dr. Ziegler served as the Principal Investigator for the two American Cancer Society proposals (folders 1/3 and 1/4). These
two files consist primarily of correspondence.

Ziegler was directly involved in coordinating the "Multi-Center Study of the Correlation between Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (H-L)
