Background

Scope and content:

The collection includes an extensive Report of the Department of Medicine of the University of Virginia to the Committee of Medical Alumni dated December 15, 1939. In 1939 the University of Virginia Hospital Development Office asked the Medical Alumni Association to assess the needs of each department and lab at the hospital. Related to this effort, the collection includes survey forms, filled out by department chairs, and correspondence. Other materials present in the collection include committee records and related documents, a large set of alumni newsletters (dating from 1948-2019), and alumni directories.

Biographical / historical:
