The collection contains reprints, reports, remarks, addresses, correspondence, news clippings, articles, and other materials.

The Benjamin E. Washburn papers contain few items of a personal nature. Consisting of reports, correspondence, scrapbooks, diaries, photographs, books and journals, the papers concern Washburn's employment with the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission (1913-1914) and the International Health Board/Division (1915-1939).

The Charles Burton Fahs Papers contain materials on the life and career of Charles Burton Fahs, as well as personal materials about his family, including parents Sophia Lyon Fahs and Charles Harvey Fahs, wife Jamie Ross Fahs, and children James Harvey Fahs and Barbara Ruth Fahs Charles.

The China Medical Board, Inc. Collection, 1914-1971, consists almost exclusively of material dealing with the Peking Union Medical College (PUMC), 1918-1951. The Peking Union Medical College (PUMC) appears to have sent to its financial supporters, first the China Medical Board and then the China Medical Board, Inc., much of its correspondence, memos and reports, to keep those in New York informed as to what was going on in China. As the ownership of the buildings and grounds of the Peking Union Medical College (PUMC) was transferred from the CMB to the CMB, Inc., many records were also transferred. This accounts for many pre-1928 documents found in the files.

The Claude H . Barlow collection covers the period from 1919 to 1964. Important subjects covered in this collection are: Bilharzia Snail Destruction Section; canal clearance; hookworm; sanitation; schistosomiasis; self-infection with schistosomiasis, fluke; snail research and studies; Fluke; and copper sulphate.

The David H. Stevens papers contain little material of a personal nature. Consisting of reports, correspondence, pamphlets, articles, speeches, and a book manuscript, the papers focus narrowly upon Stevens's term as Director of the Humanities Division of The Rockefeller Foundation (1932-1949) and upon some of his retirement activities. Such correspondence as exists in this collection is mainly concerned with Stevens's contacts among Foundation personnel and grantees or the disposition of his papers with the Foundation archives. Approximately eighty percent of the material in this collection consists of reports and other records related to the operations of the Humanities Division. None of the material relates to Stevens's service with the General Education Board.

The Dean Rusk Papers document the non-official professional activities of Dean Rusk (1909-1994), carried out during his tenure as president of the Rockefeller Foundation from 1952 to 1961. There are no personal papers in this small collection.

The E. C. Stakman Papers contain few items of a personal nature. Consisting of clippings, correspondence, program notes listing Dr. Stakman as a speaker, reprints, and speeches (mostly testimonials to Dr. Stakman), the papers reflect only the public side of his career. Over three-quarters of this collection consists of reprints. Most of the correspondence here is incoming rather than from the hand of Dr. Stakman. Only a few items reflect his activities on behalf of The Rockefeller Foundation.

This collection is primarily made up of correspondence but also includes biographical information, conference materials, publications, and news releases.
