The collection includes letters, records, correspondence, research papers, media coverage and other materials chronicling Masters and Johnson's groundbreaking work beginning in 1957 at Washington University in St. Louis and stretching into the 1990s. By directly observing the anatomical and physiological sexual responses of their human subjects, Masters and Johnson are credited with breakthroughs in the areas involving human sexual response and sexual disorders.
The institute says the materials were donated by Virginia Johnson and her family. Masters died in 2001.
