The Tobacco Science Research Conference Papers (1947-2008) contain conference programs, proceedings, attendee lists, correspondence, and notes about conferences for tobacco industry researchers and workers. It also includes materials related to nominations for the Philip Morris Award, given out at the Tobacco Science Research Conference. For most conferences, a program and proceedings are available. For some, more extensive materials, including correspondence, abstract drafts, and MS notes are also included. The collection includes a few photographs, some photographic slides, and digital media in the form of numerous 3.5" floppy disks, and a few 5.25" disks and CD-ROMs. The digital media likely contains drafts of abstracts and/or papers that were later published in the conference proceedings.
The Tobacco Chemists' Research Conferences began in 1947 and has met annually since then. In 1998 it became the Tobacco Science Research Conference. A separate conference, the Tobacco Workers' Conference, began in the 1940s (perhaps 1941, based on the conference numbers), and meets biannually.

This collection is arranged in three series: the first related to Tobacco Science Research conferences; the second related to the Tobacco Workers' Conferences; the third relating to activities that appear to have occurred outside of the first two conferences, or which deal with the conferences or collection as a whole. Within each series, materials are arranged chronologically. The collection contains materials that appear to originate chiefly from the files of Pamela E. Puryear, who worked for the Tobacco Literature Service, Communication Services, at NC State University. Materials from at least two other researchers are also present. The processor attempted to preserve in separate folders material that appeared to come from different sources, but in many cases such distinctions could not be easily made, and material may be intermixed.
