Collection
Rockefeller Foundation

The Rockefeller Foundation Pamphlet Collection consists of 41 archival boxes and approximately 23 cu. ft. of records. The Rockefeller Foundation maintained a vast collection of published pamphlets, academic papers, book manuscripts, magazine articles, and other booklets that reference the Foundation or members of the Rockefeller family or were created by RF leaders, employees, or grantees. The pamphlets date from 1878 to 1988, with the majority containing dates between 1935 and 1975.

Collection
Dunham, Lawrence Boardman (1882-1959)

The Lawrence B. Dunham Papers document the wide range of activities in which Dunham engaged during his lifetime. The papers include correspondence, memoranda, reports, drafts of speeches, clippings, pamphlets, and a scrapbook. Most of this material postdates 1934. Approximately one-quarter of this collection consists of private correspondence; another quarter of it covers Dunham's tenure on the Domestic Relations Court of New York City. There are no separate items regarding Dunham's association with the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial, and his work as Director of the Bureau of Social Hygiene is not amply documented here. Users of this collection are advised to supplement their research on any of Dunham's activities for which separate folders exist by examining the correspondence folders covering the same period.

Collection
Rose, Wickliffe (1862-1931)

Important subjects in this collection include Rose's election to Peabody College Presidency, Peabody Fund Award, International Health Division, travels, and fishing.

Collection
Ferguson, Mary E.

The material in the Mary E. Ferguson papers deals with the research, writing, and publication of "China Medical Board - Peking Union Medical College: A Chronicle of Fruitful Collaboration, 1914-1951," published in New York, 1970. The strength of the collection lies in the primary source documents: interviews with former staff at the Peking Union Medical College (PUMC), correspondence relating to the book's conception through publication, and reports of China during the Japanese occupation and after nationalization in 1951. Much of the research correspondence had been photocopied from the files of the China Medical Board, Inc., and the Rockefeller Foundation. (The book is an administrative history of PUMC, and most of the research material deals with the staff and administration of the institution.)

Collection
Davis, Nelson C.

The Nelson C. Davis Collection will be of interest both to the historian of medical research and of medical education. The lecture notes and class papers prepared by Dr. Davis at all levels of his training have been preserved in this collection. Also included are drafts of papers, some of them unpublished, at various stages of preparation, reprints of his published articles, and a wide variety of supporting research materials (such as reprints and periodicals), many taken from Portuguese- or Spanish-language publications. A substantial portion of his laboratory diary (kept at Bahia from 1928 to 1933) can be found in this collection as well as a number of field notebooks and records of experiments. Personal correspondence, however, has been rather scantily preserved.
