Subjects in the Chief Resident portraits are identified, and some individuals in the group photographs are also identified, though many are unidentified at this time. The images were created by various photographers hired by the University of Virginia Health System.

The University of Virginia Health System Marketing Communications collection consists of 5 series. Series I through Series IV contain 737 processed folders in 6 records boxes. The images in this collection were created by and/or for the University of Virginia Health System’s Department of Marketing Communications to document the people, premises, and events of the UVA Health System, the UVA School of Medicine, and the UVA School of Nursing. These four series hold photographic prints, negatives, and slides, and also contain some published materials and assorted Marketing Communications papers and correspondence related to past Marketing Communications publications. The images provide a visual history of the University of Virginia’s work in medical education and medical care throughout the twentieth century. Series V of the collection contains 4 boxes of unprocessed slides, image CDs, and zip disks. At the time of processing some non-Health System materials present with the original acquisition were transferred to the Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library and the Arthur J. Morris Law Library.
