She was an educator, a World War II veteran, a farmer and a local historian.","After graduating as valedictorian from Clay County High School in 1933, she earned her first teaching certificate from Glenville State Teachers College in 1934, a Bachelor of Arts from Marshall College in 1940 and a Master of Arts from West Virginia University in 1942. During these years and until 1944, she also taught grades 1 through 8, mostly in one-room, Clay County rural schools.","In 1944, while at WVU, Walker enlisted in the U.S. Women's Army Corps. Following her military training in Iowa, she was assigned to work at the Pentagon and then, at the war's end, was placed with the Historical Division in Germany's American Zone. While in Weisbaden, she met Carmelo F. Testa who was serving in the U.S. Air Force, and they married in 1949. Soon after, they returned to the U.S. and Garnie Walker Testa returned to her teaching career in West Virginia. Beginning in the fall of 1950, she taught at elementary and junior high schools in Kanawha County and continued through the spring of 1958. In 1954, Walker Testa bought her family's Laurel Run Farm from her parents. Then from 1958 through 1975, she taught grades 11 and 12 (mostly English and History) at Clay County High School and continued farming.","After retiring in 1975, Walker Testa expanded her WVU thesis research into a full-length book manuscript, doing much of the writing during the cold winters on the farm. Although she completed it ca. 1983, The Ringing of the Bells: A Bicentennial History of Education in Clay County, West Virginia was not published until 2020. Many of the items in this collection were compiled and retained by Walker Testa, but her niece, Karen Jo Walker, is responsible for organizing the collection, editing/publishing the education history volume, and compiling much of the genealogical research. Karen J. Walker, Ph.D., retired, is an archaeological and historical researcher.","Includes the papers of Garnie Wilma Walker Testa (1914-1999) and genealogical research about the Walker-Testa family.

Additionally, there is genealogical research material that explores her life and her family's lineage through material like descendant charts, biographical sketches, and old family photographs – all in Series 1 Subseries 5 and the collection's addendum of 2025.","This series includes Walker Testa's personal and professional papers retained throughout her life. It includes material from her education at Glenville State Teachers College, Marshall College and West Viriginia University, documentation of her military service in the US Women's Army Corps, items from her 30+ years of service as a teacher in Clay and Kanawha County schools, material related to the research, writing, and publication of her book on the history of education in Clay County, and an assortment of genealogical research material compiled by and about Walker Testa.","This subseries includes materials related to Walker's education in Clay County schools and her secondary education to become a teacher.

She was an educator, a World War II veteran, a farmer and a local historian.","After graduating as valedictorian from Clay County High School in 1933, she earned her first teaching certificate from Glenville State Teachers College in 1934, a Bachelor of Arts from Marshall College in 1940 and a Master of Arts from West Virginia University in 1942. During these years and until 1944, she also taught grades 1 through 8, mostly in one-room, Clay County rural schools.","In 1944, while at WVU, Walker enlisted in the U.S. Women's Army Corps. Following her military training in Iowa, she was assigned to work at the Pentagon and then, at the war's end, was placed with the Historical Division in Germany's American Zone. While in Weisbaden, she met Carmelo F. Testa who was serving in the U.S. Air Force, and they married in 1949. Soon after, they returned to the U.S. and Garnie Walker Testa returned to her teaching career in West Virginia. Beginning in the fall of 1950, she taught at elementary and junior high schools in Kanawha County and continued through the spring of 1958. In 1954, Walker Testa bought her family's Laurel Run Farm from her parents. Then from 1958 through 1975, she taught grades 11 and 12 (mostly English and History) at Clay County High School and continued farming.","After retiring in 1975, Walker Testa expanded her WVU thesis research into a full-length book manuscript, doing much of the writing during the cold winters on the farm. Although she completed it ca. 1983, The Ringing of the Bells: A Bicentennial History of Education in Clay County, West Virginia was not published until 2020. Many of the items in this collection were compiled and retained by Walker Testa, but her niece, Karen Jo Walker, is responsible for organizing the collection, editing/publishing the education history volume, and compiling much of the genealogical research. Karen J. Walker, Ph.D., retired, is an archaeological and historical researcher.","Includes the papers of Garnie Wilma Walker Testa (1914-1999) and genealogical research about the Walker-Testa family. The papers include material retained from her high school, college, and graduate school years, like graduation photographs and academic texts – all in Series 1 Subseries 1. The collection also includes documentation of her military service in the Army during World War II, featuring items like field guides for military procedures, photographs of herself and peers in uniform, and travel books acquired while serving internationally – all in Series 1 Subseries 2. There are materials from Walker Testa's time as a teacher in Kanawha and Clay Counties, West Virginia, like certificates commemorating her work and books used in the classroom – all in Series 1 Subseries 3.

Additionally, there is genealogical research material that explores her life and her family's lineage through material like descendant charts, biographical sketches, and old family photographs – all in Series 1 Subseries 5 and the collection's addendum of 2025.","This series includes Walker Testa's personal and professional papers retained throughout her life. It includes material from her education at Glenville State Teachers College, Marshall College and West Viriginia University, documentation of her military service in the US Women's Army Corps, items from her 30+ years of service as a teacher in Clay and Kanawha County schools, material related to the research, writing, and publication of her book on the history of education in Clay County, and an assortment of genealogical research material compiled by and about Walker Testa.","This subseries includes materials related to Walker's education in Clay County schools and her secondary education to become a teacher.

Includes academic textbooks, photographs of Walker with school friends and in graduation regalia, correspondence, and a copy of her master's thesis.","The gathers at the shoulder of Walker's garment are suggestive of a graduation gown. May be her high school graduation photograph.","Written, mailed, and stamped by Ottie Walker to her sister Garnie Walker, address \"Ivydale, Wva\" in October 1936. Includes a message about cost of boarding, cases of scarlet fever, and other things.

A related email was printed and included. On the back of the photograph, John Coulter wrote, \"Garnie Walker, Glenville. Mom's Room Mate,\" however, a stamp of the developer indicates that the photo was made in Des Moines, Iowa. In late 1944, Walker did spend 9 weeks in Des Moines in WAC Training, but the location and date of the photo is uncertain.","Two same-day images on hilltop near Glenville, WV, 1930s.

His name and sometimes \"Ivydale, Clay Co\" appears in the covers of these books.","Provided by Neva Pearl Shiflett Adams. Adams achieved the breakthrough finding of Walker connections to colonial New Hampshire and Massachusetts and then back to England. After the death of Solomon Walker in NH, his wife Leah Boyden Walker and their son, Solon Walker moved south into West Virginia.","Provided by Neva Pearl Shiflett Adams. A. J. Walker was Garnie Walker's paternal grandfather. A. J. Walker and his family are the source of the Walker Road community name, located off of Laurel Ridge Road. As of 2022, Walker Road is known as Dark Hollow Road.","Walker and others did not have the advantage of the internet or DNA analyses when completing this work. For a long time, it was thought that the WV Walker family was connected to the 1775 Joel Walker (m. Jane Cavendish) line. This has been corrected in recent years.","During the 1980s, Garnie Walker Testa researched her family tree as best she could, with the occasional help of others, including her youngest brother, Leonard O. Walker. The connection made between Joel Walker/Jane Cavendish is an error.","Includes the following photos: Image of Albert Seth Walker and Ollie Dove Brannon Walker with their first three children: Garnie Wilma (first born), Ottie Irene, and Josephine Etta (third born); 1919 [Studio] Image of the oldest three Walker sisters: Garnie Wilma, Ottie Irene, and Josephine Etta;  1920s image of Garnie, Ottie, and Josephine standing in front of a fence; 1920s image of Garnie, Ottie, and Josephine sitting on back of saddled farm horse; 1924 image of Garnie (and likely also Ottie) Walker in a school group taken against an exterior wall of Laurel Ridge School near Ivydale, WV; Image from Clay County Free Press of Garnie Walker and 2 high school friends, taken in 1933; A photograph of a group of people at a table; and a photograph of a group of people outdoors","Photographs feature Garnie Walker Testa's farm, taken by Karen J. Walker. 1: Open gate, Barn on right. Camera is facing north/NE. On the hilltop in center of photo, under the trees, is the old Lyons cemetery, identified on maps as the Cherrytree Cemetery. The visible farm road leads up and on around to the right toward the other trees. In this area is the \"new\" Walker Cemetery where Albert and Ollie Walker and are buried. And in 1999, where Garnie Walker Testa was also buried, alongside Carmelo. 2: Lower portion of the same barn seen in previous photo. 3: Mountaintop farm view with a fence, pasture, and one of Garnie's cows. (Cherrytree Cemetery is named for Cherrytree Run/Fork which is beyond view and runs into Rush Fork). 4: Another view of the barn with outbuildings on the left and the house to the right near the evergreen trees. Color images were taken in 1982 by Bruce C. Walker, which feature the old farm, located below Garnie Walker Testa's ridgetop home (still within the 221 acres). It is down at the head of Laurel Run which flows into the Big Otter and on to the Elk River. There were other outbuildings not shown in these photos. K. J.

Swanson enrolled in the University of Virginia's School of Law and became the first African American student to attend the University. Seventy-five years later (2025), the following institutions and organizations in Virginia's Charlottesville-Albemarle area collaborated to commemorate the anniversary of this event: Black Law Students Association at the University of Virginia, Jefferson-Madison Regional Library, Albemarle-Charlottesville NAACP, Charlottesville Albemarle Bar Association, County of Albemarle Government, City of Charlottesville Government, Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society, University of Virginia School of Law, and the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center.","The commemoration included two events in Charlottesville, Virginia, that were free and open to the public. The first event was held on September 5, 2025, in the Swanson Room of the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library's Central Branch. At that event, attendees listened to speakers talk about Swanson and his legacy. The speakers included Representative Jennifer McClellan, University of Virginia Law School Dean Leslie Kendrick, US District Court Judge Jasmine Yoon, Derek Collins (President, Black Law Students Association at the University of Virginia), and Albemarle-Charlottesville NAACP President, Lynn Boyd.","The second event, a walking tour, occurred on September 6, 2025. During that tour, participants were guided along Swanson's daily walk to class, highlighting five sites along the way that were significant to Swanson's tenure at the University of Virginia and in Charlottesville.","In addition to the live events, partners produced an online multimedia \"Story Map\" exhibit that served as a virtual version of the walking tour.

In 1929, the University moved the collections to the new Medical Library inside the recently-constructed Medical School Building.","Between 1929 and 1962, a medical librarian with a small staff of student and clerical workers stewarded the library's collections. The Medical Library at this time, although physically separate from the rest of the University's libraries, was administered as part of the central University library system with oversight from School of Medicine faculty serving on the Medical Library Committee. In addition to the management of collections, the medical librarians in this era began to curate exhibits and provide instruction. Only a few of the medical librarians who served in this period had professional library training.","In 1962, Wilhelm Moll was appointed the first Director of the Medical Library. During his tenure, Moll oversaw the radical trasnformation of a small branch library into an independent research library. The full-time library staff expanded from 4 to 30, the University built a new library building over Jefferson Park Avenue, the nursing and medical libraries merged to form the Health Sciences Library, a history of medicine program was founded, and the library began to adopt digital technologies.","After Moll's death in 1979, the University apppointed Terry Thorkildsen as the Director of the Claude Moore Health Sciences Library.  Thorkildsen and his successors Linda Watson (1990-2005) and Gretchen Arnold (2005-present) led the library during an era when revolutionary advances in digital technologies (e.g. the Internet, personal computers, databases) presented new challenges and opportunities for the Library.","September 1826: The University of Virginia Library opens in the Rotunda and it includes a collection of medical books.\n1911: The University Library's entire collection of medical books and journals are gathered together and moved to the basement of the Rotunda.\nSeptember 13, 1915: Richard Henry Whitehead, Dean of the School of Medicine, creates the Medical Library Committee.\n1919-June 1929: Ella Watson Johnson serves as the Medical Librarian.\nJune 1929: The Medical Library moves from the basement of the Rotunda to its own space in the new Medical School Building, the Medical Library remains a department of the central University Library System.\nJune 1929-September 1929: Margaret Otto serves as the Medical Librarian.\n1929-1931: Anne Ashhurst Gwathmey serves as the Medical Librarian.\n1931-1934: Caroline Hill Davis serves as the Medical Librarian.\nMarch 1934-June 1934: Dora Mitchell Brown serves as the Medical Librarian.\n1934-1936: Miriam Thomas Buchanan serves as the Medical Librarian.\n1935: The Medical Library institutes its first orientation for first year medical students.\n1936-1943: Anne Lewis Morris serves as the Medical Librarian.\n1943-1944: Mary Elizabeth Mayo serves as the Medical Librarian.\n1944-1947: Mabel Cook Wyllie serves as the Medical Librarian.\n1945-1949: The Nursing Library is placed under the Supervision of the Medical Librarian until the appointment of a clerk to manage the Nursing collection.\n1947-1962: Elizabeth Frances Adkins serves as the Medical Librarian.\nSeptember 1962: Wilhelm Moll is appointed the Director of the Medical Library.\n1962-1963: As the result of administrative reorganizations during this period, the Medical Library is separated from the central University Library system and placed under the control of the School of Medicine.\nNovember 1970: Librarians conduct the first online searches of a database at the University of Virginia Medical Library using the experimental AIM-TWX service developed by the National Library of Medicine's Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications.\nNovember 1971: Librarians begin using the National Library of Medicine's MEDLINE system to conduct online searches for patrons.\nAugust 1975: The Medical Library and Nursing Library are merged into the Health Sciences Library and Information Center and moved into a new building that spans over Jefferson Park Avenue.

His vision was to create a rare book room that would house the rare books that belonged to the Medical Library. During the Jeffersonian era and up until 1929, the books belonging to the school of medicine and anatomy were housed in the Rotunda Library on Grounds. In 1929, a new Medical School Building opened. This unified all the medical departments, which had been scattered throughout the Grounds. The Medical Collection became the Medical Library, and moved into new quarters in the Medical School Building. When Alderman, now Shannon, Library was built in 1937, the books moved there until the creation of the Claude Moore Health Sciences Library in 1976. Following Dr. Moll's untimely death in 1979, Special Collections librarian Joan Echtenkamp Klein helped to make Moll's reality of a special collections department a reality. She became the curator and manager of Historical Collections and Services, serving in that role until 2015. Dan Cavanaugh took over the role of curator and manager until 2022. Meggan Cashwell became the curator and manager in 2023 and is currently serving in that position.","Some exhibit pages do not have creation dates listed anywhere, but they do have copyright dates at the bottom of the page.

Twenty-five oral history interviews were conducted in the course of researching the book and are included with the book or may be viewed in the videos section of this website. Written by Henry K. Sharp, Ph.D. and Morton C. Wilhelm, M.D. the Joseph Helms Farrow Professor Emeritus in Surgical Oncology, University of Virginia School of Medicine.","This online exhibit serves as an online \"scrapbook\" with some of the milestones of the Claude Moore Health Sciences Library, Medical Center, and the School of Medicine and the School of Nursing.

Each of these areas, as well as the Home and About sections, are represented in the tabs near the top of every page. See the site map for more detail.","The Story section sets the atmosphere for the exhibit. One can get a sense of what the practice of medicine was like for James and Edward Carmichael in the early nineteenth century by reading the essays describing the Pharmacy, the Tools of the Trade, and the Health Care of Slaves.","The Collection section houses the images of the original Carmichael letters, which are meticulously transcribed and categorized to provide access not only to the words, but to the medical conditions, treatments, and philosophies of almost two centuries past. Particularly compelling is the use of Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) to categorize the letters along with a very detailed methodology and definition of MeSH terms. Other items of interest include the daybook kept by Doctor Carmichael from 1816-1817, newspaper clippings, court records \u0026 summaries, period maps, and Virginia WPA Historical Inventory Project records. Additionally, there is an exhaustive Who's Who list of names that appeared in the letters as well as a thorough list of Places Mentioned.","This online exhibit tells the story of how the U.S. Army Commission, comprised of Major Walter Reed, Dr. James Carroll, Dr. Aristides Agramonte, and Dr. Jesse Lazear, confirmed Carlos Finlay's theory about the transmission of yellow fever.

The exhibit traces the construction and later changes to the building, its demise, and archeological investigations at the site. It also gives a glimpse of what happened inside the building and the deeds that were done to procure cadavers so that medical students could learn anatomy.","This exhibit was sparked by the interest of the late Dr. M.C. Wilhelm in the model of the Anatomical Theatre housed in Historical Collections at the University of Virginia Claude Moore Health Sciences Library. A retired surgeon and volunteer in Historical Collections, Dr. Wilhelm gathered resources and did preliminary writing. It was decided to further develop the project, and the result is this exhibit, written and organized by Janet Pearson, a Historical Collections staff member. Originally done under the direction of Joan Echtenkamp Klein, who was the Alvin V. and Nancy Baird Curator for Historical Collections until her untimely death, project support was continued under Dan Cavanaugh, who stepped into Joan's role and position.","Others associated with the University of Virginia community freely shared their ideas and research. These individuals include Garth Anderson, the Facilities Management Historian; Kirt von Daacke, Assistant Dean and Professor, College of Arts \u0026 Sciences; Louis Nelson, Professor in the Department of Architectural History and Associate Provost for Outreach; Robert Bloodgood, Professor in the School of Medicine; Benjamin Ford, Principal Investigator with Rivanna Archaeological Services, LLC; and Sonya Coleman, formerly a staff member in Historical Collections and now at the Library of Virginia. Emily Bowden, the Historical Collections Specialist, answered many technical queries as well as gave editorial assistance. Anson Parker and Jason Bennett provided the programming architecture for the Web exhibit.","This exhibit explores the development of the iron lung during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century and considers the reasons for its success during the height of the poliomyelitis epidemics. Andrew Sallans, Historical Collections Specialist, researched and compiled the content for the online and physical exhibits. The design of the online exhibit was conceived and executed by Steve Stedman, Webmaster for the Claude Moore Health Sciences Library.","This online exhibit displays a digitized copy of Historical Collections and Services' rare book \"Plague and Public Health in Europe, with Special Reference to Sixteenth-Century England: An Introduction to Orders thought meete by her Maiestie ..., 1578.\"","Anne McKeithen, Janet Pearson, and Andrew Sallans, members of the staff of Historical Collections at The Claude Moore Health Sciences Library, compiled the material for the Plague Book exhibit under the direction of Joan Echtenkamp Klein. Joaquin Bueno designed the Web exhibit and graphics, with the programming architecture of David Moody and the assistance of Bart Ragon.","Unless otherwise noted, the images are courtesy of the Missouri Botanical Garden, © 1995-2006 Missouri Botanical Garden http://www.illustratedgarden.org). They deserve special thanks for their generous permission to reproduce their exquisite illustrations. Special thanks are also given to Duane J. Osheim, Ph.D., Professor and Chair, of the Corcoran Department of History at the University of Virginia for his paper, \"Plague and Public Health in Europe, with Special Reference to Sixteenth-Century England.\"","In 2001 Historical Collections in the Claude Moore Health Sciences Library created an exhibit that traces the history of the first century of the Hospital in words and images. One copy of the exhibit traveled from location to location in the Health System and beyond; the other set of panels were hung in a busy hospital corridor near the main entrance where they remain today. These panels form the basis for this online exhibit which now includes the addition of a section on the first 14 years of the Hospital's second century. We hope you enjoy following the history of the growth of the University of Virginia Health System as it seeks to fulfill its longstanding vision to benefit human health and improve quality of life through patient care, research, and education.","This exhibition was prepared by Hal Sharp and Janet Pearson of the Department of Historical Collections and Services, The Claude Moore Health Sciences Library.","This online exhibit aims to give viewers a view into more than 50 of Historical Collections and Services' most notable books and see how their authors over the years have documented their discoveries and concepts for contemporaries and for us.  There are digitized versions of many of the books in the Fulltext Books section, which offers links to the scanned images of over half of these rare books.","Sara Huyser, Anne McKeithen, and Janet Pearson, members of the staff of Historical Collections at The Claude Moore Health Sciences Library, wrote and compiled the material for Vaulted Treasures under the direction of Joan Echtenkamp Klein.","Joaquin Bueno designed the Web exhibit and graphics, with the server expertise of David Moody and the assistance of Bart Ragon. Special thanks to Claudia Sueyras who scanned many of the books and Andrew Sallans who provided technical assistance.","The 37 caricatures displayed in this exhibit are divided into two groups: English and French. The English prints are predominately drawn by two of the more famous British caricaturists, James Gillray and George Cruikshank. The French caricatures include artwork by J.J. Grandville, Louis-Léopold Boilly, and Edme Jean Pigal.","Mary Wagner donated the caricatures in this exhibit to Historical Collections and Services, The Claude Moore Health Sciences Library. Her husband, the late Robert R. Wagner, M.D., collected these when he was a post-doctoral fellow at the National Institute for Medical Research in London from 1950 to 1951. Wagner was Chair of the Department of Microbiology at the University of Virginia from 1967 to 1994, and Director of the UVa Cancer Center from 1983 to 1993. Thanks to Mary Wagner's generosity, the caricatures recently have been professionally treated, preserved, and reframed. The originals are on display in Historical Collections and Services and in the Department of Microbiology in the Robert R. Wagner Conference Room. These nineteenth-century satirical prints will thus continue to delight future generations.","This exhibit was written by Sara Huyser and Janet Pearson, members of the staff of Historical Collections and Services at the Claude Moore Health Sciences Library, University of Virginia. Steve Stedman designed the Web exhibit. Special thanks to Joan Echtenkamp Klein and Andrew Sallans for their assistance.","Walter Reed's professional experiences with typhoid fever stand in marked contrast to his professional encounters with yellow fever. In the case of typhoid, he was more a messenger than a conqueror. Typhoid fever remained defiant during a career that oversaw the rout of yellow fever. Through a humanizing story that shows how fate brought Reed continuing frustration as well as talent and success, this exhibit seeks to render him a more accessible role model for students of medicine and history.","This exhibit was written by Noel G. Harrison, a graduate student in The Corcoran Department of History at the University of Virginia and an intern in Historical Collections and Services at the Claude Moore Health Sciences Library, University of Virginia during the fall of 2002. The Web exhibit was prepared and designed by Mike Wilson and Sara Huyser. Special thanks to Bart Ragon, Joan Echtenkamp Klein, and Hal Sharp for their assistance.","This series includes records related to Historical Collections and Services, the special collections and archives department of the Claude Moore Health Sciences Library.

Dr. Burke, a one-time owner and resident physician at Red Sulphur Springs, remarks on the usefulness of the various mineral waters in certain diseases as well as contraindications to their use. The springs range from those that are well known today such as the White Sulphur Springs, currently the Greenbrier resort in West Virginia, to the Blue Sulphur Springs, once able to accommodate several hundred people and now represented by a lone Greek Revival pavilion in the middle of a field near Smoot, West Virginia.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThis exhibit was written and organized by Janet Pearson, a member of the staff of Historical Collections and Services, under the direction of Joan Echtenkamp Klein, the Alvin V. and Nancy Baird Curator for Historical Collections at The Claude Moore Health Sciences Library, University of Virginia.

Thomas Jefferson himself drew the design which includes two floor plans, a front elevation view, and a cross section. The exhibit traces the construction and later changes to the building, its demise, and archeological investigations at the site. It also gives a glimpse of what happened inside the building and the deeds that were done to procure cadavers so that medical students could learn anatomy.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThis exhibit was sparked by the interest of the late Dr. M.C.

Twenty-five oral history interviews were conducted in the course of researching the book and are included with the book or may be viewed in the videos section of this website. Written by Henry K. Sharp, Ph.D. and Morton C. Wilhelm, M.D. the Joseph Helms Farrow Professor Emeritus in Surgical Oncology, University of Virginia School of Medicine.","This online exhibit serves as an online \"scrapbook\" with some of the milestones of the Claude Moore Health Sciences Library, Medical Center, and the School of Medicine and the School of Nursing.

Each of these areas, as well as the Home and About sections, are represented in the tabs near the top of every page. See the site map for more detail.","The Story section sets the atmosphere for the exhibit. One can get a sense of what the practice of medicine was like for James and Edward Carmichael in the early nineteenth century by reading the essays describing the Pharmacy, the Tools of the Trade, and the Health Care of Slaves.","The Collection section houses the images of the original Carmichael letters, which are meticulously transcribed and categorized to provide access not only to the words, but to the medical conditions, treatments, and philosophies of almost two centuries past. Particularly compelling is the use of Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) to categorize the letters along with a very detailed methodology and definition of MeSH terms. Other items of interest include the daybook kept by Doctor Carmichael from 1816-1817, newspaper clippings, court records \u0026 summaries, period maps, and Virginia WPA Historical Inventory Project records. Additionally, there is an exhaustive Who's Who list of names that appeared in the letters as well as a thorough list of Places Mentioned.","This online exhibit tells the story of how the U.S. Army Commission, comprised of Major Walter Reed, Dr. James Carroll, Dr. Aristides Agramonte, and Dr. Jesse Lazear, confirmed Carlos Finlay's theory about the transmission of yellow fever. By showing without a doubt that mosquitoes were the vector for yellow fever, the researchers empowered public health officials in the Americas to eradicate this devastating disease from much of the Western Hemisphere.","The exhibit is divided into three main sections. The first section, Archives, provides information about and links to the Philip S. Hench Walter Reed Yellow Fever Collection. The collection, most collected by Philip S. Hench and housed at the University of Virginia's Claude Moore Health Sciences Library, is a rich archive of materials that documents the history of the U.S. Army Yellow Fever Commission. The second section, History, tells the story of the U.S. Army Yellow Fever Commission and the impact of its findings. Finally, the third section, Resources, provides access to biographies, bibliographies, and other resources visitors may want to consult to learn more about the Commission and the history of yellow fever.","This exhibit tells the story about 12 physicians practicing in Charlottesville, VA in 1848 mutually agreed to create an agreed rate of medical charges for services.","Joan Echtenkamp Klein, the Alvin V. and Nancy Baird Curator for Historical Collections \u0026 Services at The Claude Moore Health Sciences Library, University of Virginia, conceived the idea for the fee bill project and directed it.

Published in 1846, the book describes the setting and development of eleven springs in what are now Virginia and West Virginia. Dr. Burke, a one-time owner and resident physician at Red Sulphur Springs, remarks on the usefulness of the various mineral waters in certain diseases as well as contraindications to their use. The springs range from those that are well known today such as the White Sulphur Springs, currently the Greenbrier resort in West Virginia, to the Blue Sulphur Springs, once able to accommodate several hundred people and now represented by a lone Greek Revival pavilion in the middle of a field near Smoot, West Virginia.","This exhibit was written and organized by Janet Pearson, a member of the staff of Historical Collections and Services, under the direction of Joan Echtenkamp Klein, the Alvin V. and Nancy Baird Curator for Historical Collections at The Claude Moore Health Sciences Library, University of Virginia.

While not included in the earliest plans of the University, the need for the Theatre became clear before the first classes were ever held. Thomas Jefferson himself drew the design which includes two floor plans, a front elevation view, and a cross section. The exhibit traces the construction and later changes to the building, its demise, and archeological investigations at the site. It also gives a glimpse of what happened inside the building and the deeds that were done to procure cadavers so that medical students could learn anatomy.","This exhibit was sparked by the interest of the late Dr. M.C. Wilhelm in the model of the Anatomical Theatre housed in Historical Collections at the University of Virginia Claude Moore Health Sciences Library. A retired surgeon and volunteer in Historical Collections, Dr. Wilhelm gathered resources and did preliminary writing. It was decided to further develop the project, and the result is this exhibit, written and organized by Janet Pearson, a Historical Collections staff member. Originally done under the direction of Joan Echtenkamp Klein, who was the Alvin V. and Nancy Baird Curator for Historical Collections until her untimely death, project support was continued under Dan Cavanaugh, who stepped into Joan's role and position.","Others associated with the University of Virginia community freely shared their ideas and research.

One copy of the exhibit traveled from location to location in the Health System and beyond; the other set of panels were hung in a busy hospital corridor near the main entrance where they remain today. These panels form the basis for this online exhibit which now includes the addition of a section on the first 14 years of the Hospital's second century. We hope you enjoy following the history of the growth of the University of Virginia Health System as it seeks to fulfill its longstanding vision to benefit human health and improve quality of life through patient care, research, and education.","This exhibition was prepared by Hal Sharp and Janet Pearson of the Department of Historical Collections and Services, The Claude Moore Health Sciences Library.","This online exhibit aims to give viewers a view into more than 50 of Historical Collections and Services' most notable books and see how their authors over the years have documented their discoveries and concepts for contemporaries and for us.
