On June 1, 2004, this collection was donated to the University Archives by Dr. Robert Noble, Doctor Bernice Noble's husband. These papers were surveyed and packed in Professor Noble's office in Cary Hall by Dr. Robert Noble and former University Archivist, Shonnie Finnegan.
Professor Bernice Katz Noble taught at the University at Buffalo in the School of Medicine from 1977 until her death in 2003. She contributed so much to UB through not only her scholarly research, but her tireless activism for affirmative action and women's rights at UB.
Born in Philadelphia in 1940, Noble graduate from Bryn Mawr College in 1962. She went on to receive a master's degree from Brandeis University in 1964 and a Ph.D. in Microbiology from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1975. Two years later, she joined the faculty of UB as a professor of Microbiology and Immunology.
Over the course of her career, Noble published over one hundred journal articles relating to her scientific research in immunologic damage with functional impairment and the relations between autoimmunity and gender.
On top of all of her teaching and research, Noble also dedicated much of her time to advancing women's careers at UB.
Working to increase the number of female students and tenure-track faculty in the sciences, Noble served as co-chair of the President's Task Force on the Status of Women at UB from 1996 to 1997. The final report (authored by Noble and co-chair, John M. Staley) from that Task Force led directly to increased salary parity, a stronger affirmative action office and enhanced child-care facilities at UB.
For biographical information on Dr. Bernice K. Noble, please refer to her Biographical File.
When the personal papers of Dr. Bernice K. Noble were donated to the University Archives, it was noted by her husband, Dr. Robert Noble, that she did not keep non-current files. Therefore most of the materials contained in this collection date between the late 1990's and 2003.
The papers of Dr. Bernice K. Noble have been arranged into four series. In some cases these series were further subdivided into sub series. Many of the original folders used by Bernice Noble were used more than once and therefore had more than one label. Efforts were made to determine the proper label for the contents of the folder. In most cases, the exact wording used to label the original folders was reused on the new folders.
Series I consists of notes related to courses taught by Bernice Noble. Folders containing general information related to the courses taught were placed before those of notes from specific lectures. Some folders were labeled both with the lecture number and topic. In these cases, the topic was placed in quotes. Some effort was made during processing to organize the lectures according to the units found in the course syllabi.
