Biomedical Research in the 21st Century was a seminar series hosted by Eugene Lang College's Science, Technology and Society program in the fall semester of 1998. Organized by New School professor Katayoun Chamany and Louis M. Aledort, a hematologist at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, the series featured lectures by physicians and scientists on topics related to biomedical research. The collection consists of thirteen video recordings of the weekly sessions.

The collection consists of audiovisual recordings of events, including concerts, lectures, and an orientation, sponsored by Eugene Lang College, the undergraduate liberal arts division of The New School.

Mark Schmidt is an alumnus of Eugene Lang College at The New School who took part in the Mobilization for Real Diversity, Democracy, and Economic Justice. The Mobilization was a campus movement during the 1996-1997 school year that protested the firing of Professor M. Jacqui Alexander, an Afro-Carribbean feminist scholar and Graduate Faculty member. This small collection of materials, assembled by Schmidt, includes photographs and a video.
