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 and Simon A. Cole.
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.
