INFORMATION FOR USERS
O.J. Simpson murder trial and DNA typing archive, #53-12-3037. Division of Rare and
Manuscript Collections, Cornell University Library.
Cornell University.s Department of Science and Technology Studies conducted a National
Science Foundation-supported research project: DNA Fingerprinting: Law and Science
in Criminal Process. A supplemental project, conducted in 1995, and also supported
by NSF created "An Archive of Material on the O.J. Simpson Murder Trial and DNA Typing."
The goal of the archive was to collect and preserve ephemeral materials for studying
popular constructions of credibility in science, especially on issues relating to
genetics and DNA testing, and on the specific roles of the law and the media in shaping
these constructions. The project.s principal investigators were Sheila Jasanoff and
Bruce Lewenstein. Graduate students included Saul E. Halfon, Simon A. Cole, and Arthur
Daemmrich.
Files of cases in which the use of DNA as evidence were an important factor, notably
the People of New York State vs Castro, the case which set the precedent for allowing
the use of DNA as evidence in a trial; photocopies, printouts, and clippings of news
stories relating to the O.J. Simpson trial; interviews; and 235 Court TV tapes from
the part of the Simpson trial in which the scientific evidence was provided.
Also, advertising materials, price sheets, technical data, interview transcripts,
and other materials gathered by Arthur Daemmrich from three biotech companies: Genelex,
Cellmark (who worked on the O.J. Simpson case), and Lifecodes.
