This series contains record books used by the University of Virginia Hospital to record hospital admissions, student and staff listings, patient information, and medical services and procedures for various hospital departments. In addition to record books, the materials consist of papers, including annual reports, budget materials, case histories, operative notes, and statistics. These records document diagnoses, treatments, surgical procedures, patient demographics, hospital staffing, and clinical outcomes. The collection provides insight into medical practice, hospital administration, and healthcare delivery at the University of Virginia Hospital during the 20th century.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
