Overview and metadata sections
William A. Lester, Jr. (1937-) is an African American theoretical chemist and chemistry educator. He is noted for his theoretical studies of the electronic structure of molecules through Quantum Monte Carlo methods. He is also a noted advocate for underrepresented minorities in the sciences and higher education.
William A. Lester, Jr. was born in Chicago, Illinois on April 24, 1937. He became interested in science at an early age. Lester earned his B.S. degree in Chemistry (1958) and his M.S. degree in Chemistry (1959) from the University of Chicago. After earning his M.S. degree, he briefly continued his graduate studies at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri (1959-1960), then moved to Catholic University of America in Washington, DC, where he earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry (1964). While attending Catholic University, he worked at the National Bureau of Standards (1961-1964), where he conducted research in quantum theory.
After receiving his Ph.D., Lester joined the staff of the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Theoretical Chemistry Institute, where he served as Postdoctoral Associate (1964-1965) and Assistant Director (1965-1968). At the Theoretical Chemistry Institute, he conducted research on molecular collision theory and molecular quantum mechanics and scattering. While working at this institute, he also served as Lecturer at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Department of Chemistry (1966-1968), where he taught undergraduate physical chemistry and graduate courses in theoretical chemistry.
Lester entered the private sector in 1968 when he joined the staff of the IBM Research Laboratory in San Jose, California. Serving as a member of the laboratory's professional staff (1968-1975), he conducted research in quantum chemistry and molecular collisions. In 1975, he moved to IBM's T.J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York, where he served on the Technical Planning Staff of the Director of Research (1975-1976). In this management position, he kept the Director informed of developments in science at IBM's research laboratories in Yorktown Heights, San Jose, and Zürich, Switzerland. Lester returned to the IBM Research Laboratory in San Jose in 1976, serving as Manager of the Molecular Interactions Group (1976-1978). In this capacity, he oversaw research in experimental and theoretical studies in chemical physics and conducted personal research on molecular collisions.
In 1978, Lester joined the staff of Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory in Berkeley, California. From 1978 to 1981, he served as Director of the National Resource for Computation in Chemistry (NRCC), which was the first unified effort in computational chemistry in the United States. In this capacity, Lester worked to make information on new computational methodologies available to chemists. He also oversaw the development of new computational algorithms and associated software and conducted research in chemistry that utilized computational methods. While serving as Director of the NRCC, Lester was introduced by American theoretical physicist David Ceperley to Quantum Monte Carlo, a family of computational methods used to study complex quantum systems. Quantum Monte Carlo later became Lester's main tool for his chemical research.
During his tenure as Director of the NRCC, Lester concurrently served as Associate Director and Senior Scientist at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. The NRCC was formally terminated in 1981. After the NRCC's termination, Lester stayed on at Lawerence Berkeley, serving as Faculty Senior Scientist at the laboratory's Chemical Sciences Division (1981-Present).
In 1981, Lester was appointed Professor of Chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley's Department of Chemistry (1981-Present). At Cal Berkeley, he taught undergraduate and graduate level chemistry courses. Working concurrently at both Cal Berkeley and Lawerence Berkeley Laboratory, Lester's research focused on the theoretical studies of the electronic structure of molecules. Through his research, he extended the use of Quantum Monte Carlo methods to a wider range of chemical problems. In addition to his research and teaching, Lester served as the Department of Chemistry's Vice-Chair for Instruction (1991-1995) and as the College of Chemistry's Associate Dean for Undergraduate Affairs (1997-1999).
In addition to his research and teaching activities, Lester is a longtime advocate for underrepresented minorities in the sciences and higher education, doing so in a number of different capacities. He was a longtime member of the National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers (NOBCChE) and served on the organization's National Board (1984-1987). At the University of California, Berkeley, he was active in several university initiatives aimed at aiding minority students, faculty, and staff, including the Chancellor's Committee on Diversity and the Special Scholarships Committee. From 1995 to 1996, he served as the National Science Foundation's Assistant to the Director for Human Resource Development. Lester also had a longstanding professional relationship with Jackson State University, serving this historically black university as a member of the External Advisory Committee for Computational Center for Molecular Structure and Interactions' CREST Program and as Adjunct Professor at its Department of Chemistry.
William A. Lester, Jr. authored and co-authored more than two hundred scientific papers and presented papers at numerous professional conferences over the course of his career. He is co-author of the book Monte Carlo Methods in Ab Initio Quantum Chemistry, editor of the book Recent Advances in Quantum Monte Carlo Method, and co-editor of the book Recent Advances in Quantum Monte Carlo Methods. Part II. Lester was an active member of several professional organizations, including the American Chemical Society, American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the Gordon Research Conferences. He is also the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including the National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers' Percy L. Julian Award (1979), Fellow of the American Physical Society (1984), Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (1991), and the University of California, Berkeley's Lifetime Achievement Award (2019).

Sub-series Description
The National Resource for Computation in Chemistry (NRCC) was an independent division of Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory dedicated to scientific computing in chemistry. Established on October 1, 1977 and co-sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy, the NRCC was the United States' first unified effort in computational chemistry. The NRCC's mission was to provide computational facilities and personnel dedicated to advancing chemistry and related sciences through the use of high-speed computational equipment.
William A. Lester, Jr. served as Director of the NRCC from 1978 to 1981. Under his directorship, the center focused on helping chemists by making available information on new computational methodologies, developing computational algorithms and software, and supporting chemical research utilizing computational methods. On the recommendation of a joint National Science Foundation/U.S. Department of Energy review, the NRCC was officially terminated on September 30, 1981.
Arranged alphabetically by subject, this sub-series contains National Resource for Computation in Chemistry Files collected and maintained by William A. Lester, Jr. The files in this series mainly document the activities of the NRCC under Lester's directorship, including those of Lester himself. Small amounts of materials regarding the NRCC's activities prior to Lester's arrival in 1978 are also present here.
Files pertaining to workshops held by the NRCC, the NRCC's Policy Board, and the NRCC's Program Committee make up the largest components of this sub-series. Small numbers of files pertaining to other miscellaneous topics, including, but not limited to, the NRCC's Ad Hoc Review Committee, budgetary matters, and the termination of the NRCC are also preserved here.
The contents of the National Resource for Computation in Chemistry Files consist of a wide variety of materials. Correspondence, notes, and reports are the common materials found in this sub-series. Smaller, but noticeable, amounts of agendas, proposals, financial documents, and minutes are also found in this sub-series. Small amounts of other miscellaneous materials, including, but not limited to, newsletters, articles, prospectuses, and publications are preserved here as well.

Sub-series Description
Arranged numerically by publication number, this sub-series contains publications files collected and maintained by William A. Lester, Jr. during his tenure at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. These files concern the development and release of publications produced at Lawrence Berkeley under Lester's oversight between 1981 and 1997. They also provide a significant amount of information regarding the chemical research conducted by Lester and his colleagues at Lawrence Berkeley during that time period.
A majority of the files in this sub-series concern publications co-authored by Lester and several of his Lawrence Berkeley colleagues, including Vladimir Z. Kresin, Michel Dupuis, and Brian L. Hammond. Files concerning a significant number of publications authored by Lawrence Berkeley scientists independently of Lester, including Vladimir Z. Kresin, Brian L. Hammond, and Robert N. Barnett are also present in this sub-series. A handful of files regarding publications authored by Lester alone are also found here.
The publications represented in this sub-series consist mainly of science journal articles and papers presented at conferences, symposia, colloquia, meetings, and workshops. A handful of book chapters, Ph.D. dissertations, and reports are also represented here.
Manuscripts make up the largest component of materials found in the Publications Files sub-series. Significant amounts of publication work orders, correspondence, reprint orders, and reprints are also found in this sub-series. Small amounts of legal documents (mainly copyright agreements), articles, and publications are preserved here as well.

Sub-series Description
Arranged numerically by publication number and alphabetically by publisher, this sub-series contains printed materials pertaining to Lawerence Berkeley Laboratory that were collected and maintained by William A. Lester, Jr. The materials in this sub-series mainly document the activities of Lawrence Berkeley as an institution during Lester's tenure, which include research and hosting workshops. To a lesser extent, the research activities of Lester and a few of his colleagues at Lawrence Berkeley and the establishment of the National Resource for Computation in Chemistry (NRCC) are also covered here.
A large majority of the printed materials in this sub-series were published by Lawerence Berkeley Laboratory itself. A smaller, but noticeable, number of materials published by the U.S. Department of Energy, for whom Lawerence Berkeley conducted extensive research in the chemical sciences, are also present in this sub-series. Two publications from Argonne National Laboratory, a single publication from the National Research Council, and a single publication from the Panel on Large Scale Computing in Science and Engineering are also preserved here.
Reports make up the largest component of the materials in the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory Printed Materials. Smaller, but noticeable, amounts of proceedings, scientific papers, and article preprints are also found this sub-series. A variety of other miscellaneous materials, including, but not limited to newsletters, institutional plans, proposals, and Ph.D. theses are preserved here as well.

Color transparencies make up the bulk of the images in this sub-series. A handful of black and white transparencies are preserved here as well.
