The Albert Tyler Papers (1930-1968) were donated to the Archives by the Caltech Biology Division in 1970. They represent only a small portion of his scientific legacy. In 1996, files relating to Tyler's work in the 1930s on Urechis and to Caltech's marine station at Corona del Mar were transferred from the T. H. Morgan papers to the Tyler collection. Researchers should consult related collections in the Archives: the Papers of Thomas Hunt Morgan, the Papers of Norman Horowitz, and Biology Divisional Records.

Albert Tyler (1906-1968), Caltech professor of biology, was born in Brooklyn, New York, and received his bachelor's degree in 1927 from Columbia University. In 1928 he accompanied Thomas Hunt Morgan from Columbia to Caltech, as Morgan came to California to set up a new biology program. Tyler subsequently became Caltech's first PhD in biology (1929).
