Abstract: Business records from the Cetus Corporation and research notes from author and historian Eric Vettel.

Content Description

Business records from the Cetus Corporation, one of the first biotechnology companies in the United States. Cetus was founded in Berkeley, California in 1971 by Ronald E. Cape, Peter Farley, and Donald A. Glaser, and was sold to Chiron in 1991. The collection includes their original business plan, documents related to a 1981 public offering as well as material concerning business operations, finances, board, management, and competition. Eric Vettel, who wrote a 2006 history of biotechnology and Cetus ("Biotech : The Countercultural Origins of an Industry"), assembled this material and donated it to Stanford along with his research notes.
