3. Varian document files

Scope and Content Note

Numbered documents for Varian's reference library, with computer printouts of various indexes (i.e. by author, chronologically, etc.). There are numbered documents elsewhere in the collection, without indexes.
 

3.1 Biological Effects 1975-1989

Scope and Content Note

Correspondence, memoranda, and background information (articles, papers, and other publications), in approximately chronological order. In a letter to a cousin in 1983, Packard wrote “one of my jobs is to keep abreast of any potentially harmful biological effects of electrical or magnetic fields," and this file reflects that effort.

3.2 PRC [People's Republic of China] 1972-1986

Scope and Content Note

Correspondence, memoranda, and background information (articles, papers, and other publications), in approximately chronological order. These files chronicle the emergence of normalized trade relations with communist China. Varian activity began around 1972 when Carl Djerassi was involved with hosting a delegation of scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and approached Varian for a tour. In 1977, Varian was in China for a trade fair. By 1986, China was responsible for $10-15 million in sales, Beijing had a sales office and two service centers, and there were manufacturing licenses for six products.

3.3 USSR 1973-1986

Scope and Content Note

Correspondence, memoranda, and background information (articles, papers, and other publications), in approximately chronological order. The file begins with correspondence and reports from Edward Ginzton (who was born in Ukraine) from 1973, as well as Ginzton’s “Some Notes on a Trip to Russia” from 1974. Packard’s first trip was in 1976, and subsequent communication is largely business, scientific and government trip and meeting coordination, notably with licensing agency Licensintorg, and the US-USSR Trade & Economic Council. In early 1980 (around 3300-3364), following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, U.S. trade embargos extended to the suspension of high technology export licenses, and there is a great deal of correspondence concerning this. The files contain much information about the exchange of scientific knowledge, expertise, and technology with Russia, as well as articles about industrial espionage and spying. Related information can be found in Packard’s National Academy of Science panel files under Series 8.

Edward Ginzton, who was part of the company from its inception, was Varian’s Chairman of the Board following Russell’s death in 1959. As Assistant to Board Chairman, Packard met with him regularly, and they continued to meet following Ginzton's retirement in 1984. These agendas, largely concerning Varian business in the USSR and China, are annotated by Packard. There are also related agendas in the Varian history series.

7. Palo Alto Capital Company 1967-1975

Scope and Content Note

In the late 1960s, Varian Associates, and Edward Ginzton in particular, had an interest in assisting “members of minorities to establish and expand successful small business in the mid-Peninsula area,” and founded a Minority Enterprise Small Business Investment Company (MESBIC) to that end. Varian’s Minority Employment Committee worked with the Stanford-Mid-Peninsula Urban Coalition in setting up an SBIC that would also coordinate volunteer business consultation and management development, in addition to providing loans. The Palo Alto Capital Company, founded in October 1969, was the second MESBIC in country. PACC merged with Opportunity Capital Corporation of San Francisco in 1974, with Martin Packard representing Varian on their Board of Directors.

8.1. Addiction Research Foundation (ARF) 1974-1989

Scope and Content Note

The Addiction Research Foundation was a nonprofit research clinic devoted to the study of addictive diseases, formed by Avram Goldstein, a professor of pharmacology at Stanford University School of Medicine who advocated for the recognition of addiction as a behavioral disorder. Goldstein was one of the discoverers of endorphins, in part because of the work he was able to accomplish at the Foundation. Goldstein was a consultant to Varian-related company Syva prior to the Addiction Research Foundation, and Packard was on the ARF Board of Directors from the beginning. Varian also sold the group some analytical instruments. The Foundation originally offered experimental treatment of heroin addicts, and later studied nicotine addiction and the development of non-addictive pain-killers. The collection only contains organizational records, and no medical or scientific data is present.
