These materials document a set of mice experiments that Cameron carried out in collaboration with Dr. Jeff Bland and Dr. Richard Marcuson that explored the effects of dietary fatty acids on incidences of breast and colon cancers. The serie includes a wide range of records, from experiment proposals and descriptions, to budgets, data sheets, correspondence, manuscripts and related articles. The boxes are arranged according to the stage of a given experiment, with files organized by date, as applicable.

This intriguing series details the cancer and vitamin C trials that Cameron carried out at the Vale of Leven Hospital in Scotland in collaboration with Linus Pauling and the Linus Pauling Institute of Science and Medicine. The contents are divided into three subseries, organized according to experiment stage.

Boxes 2.001 to 2.016 hold the raw data generated by the experiments, including patient records, case histories and other preliminary data. Boxes 2.017 to 2.020 move into the later stages of the trials, and include final analyses and consequent manuscripts. Boxes 2.021 to 2.023 focus upon the controversy surrounding one of these resulting manuscripts, "Supplemental Ascorbate and Incurable Cancer," which was ultimately rejected for publication by The New England Journal of Medicine. This subseries also includes a manuscript of and correspondence regarding the book by Evelleen Richards.

Cameron received information and documents from many different institutions, and corresponded with some of them. This series organizes institutional correspondence and information alphabetically by name of institution. The fourth box in the series contains information and notes from conferences attended by Cameron, organized by sponsoring institution name, or by the name of the presenter.

This small series contains manuscripts and typescripts of speeches and presentations delivered by Cameron. Note that the full text of item 4.001.3, "Vitamin C and Cancer: A Personal Perspective," is available here.

This series is comprised of Cameron's collection of scientific offprints, including those written by others and by himself. The materials are further divided into five subseries, each containing articles of various types.

Boxes 5.001 to 5.006 include only those articles written by Cameron, the majority of which pertain to Vitamin C. Box 5.007 holds articles both by and about Dr. Linus Pauling, Cameron's major collaborator. Boxes 5.008 to 5.016, which comprise the largest of the subseries, are devoted to scientific articles of all kinds, mainly dealing with Vitamin C and other medical topics, and organized alphabetically by author's last name, or by title in cases where no author is evident. Boxes 5.017 to 5.020 contain articles not published in scientific journals, organized by topic. Many of these topics are of a medical nature, and most of the topic names were derived directly from the organizational scheme of Cameron's own filing cabinets. Boxes 5.021 to 5.023 include periodicals that Cameron received, filed alphabetically by publication name.

Series 6 contains Cameron's personal documents. The first box contains information and correspondence regarding the various awards that Cameron received. The second box contains a great deal of information about Cameron himself, in the form of official documents pertaining to his career, his immigration from Scotland to the U.S., and his funeral.

In 1979 Cameron and Linus Pauling co-authored the book . This series contains both a manuscript of the book as well as documents pertaining to its writing and publication.

Towards the end of his life, Cameron became very interested in the emerging and devastating disease Autoimmune Deficiency Syndrome, or AIDS. This series encompasses his studies of the disease, and features an unpublished manuscript by Cameron entitled, .

Cameron was a public figure. Because of this, many people saw fit to write to him to seek his advice on vitamin C and medical issues, belittle his findings or, alternatively, express their appreciation of his life and work. The General Correspondence series contains correspondence written either by people whom Cameron did not know personally or by those who did not write often enough to merit their own file.

Over a twenty-two year period of collaboration, Cameron and Linus Pauling accrued an extensive correspondence. The letters in this series are organized by date and focus primarily upon Cameron and Pauling's work on a variety of diet- and disease-related projects.

Many of the letters that Cameron received were from fellow scientists and colleagues. Series 11 contains correspondence from those colleagues with whom Cameron exchanged letters most often. It also includes Cameron's communications with Arthur B. Robinson, a key member of the Linus Pauling Institute of Science and Medicine, who later left the Institute under unhappy circumstances. Much of the correspondence in this series is arranged by date, and also includes information and articles by and about the correspondents.
