Eugenics Archive: “materials from the

Eugenics Record Office at Cold Spring Harbor, which was

the center of American eugenics research from 1910-1940.

In the Archive you will see numerous reports, articles,

charts, and pedigrees that were considered scientific

“facts” in their day. It is important to remind yourself that

the vast majority of eugenics work has been completely

discredited. In the final analysis, the eugenic description of

human life reflected political and social prejudices, rather

than scientific facts.”
