The Hospital Photography Collection (approximately 19.5 linear feet) contains negatives and some slides of buildings, Doctor’s Lecture Images, Doctor’s Portraits, and miscellaneous images displaying The Ohio State University’s College of Medicine over many years. This collection is weak where dates are concerned since only some of the images have them.
This collection is arranged in five series:
Series I: Doctors Portraits (21 boxes) consists of doctor’s portraits arranged alphabetically by last name. In Box 9 a mistake was made while numbering the envelopes causing the number 9 to be skipped. To find a specific portrait refer to the list of each envelope contained in this series.
Series II: Buildings (1 box) consists of Ohio State Buildings mostly of the medical center. It also contains images of some of the medical center buildings while they were being constructed.
Series III: Lecture Images (6 boxes) consists of lecture images of doctors arranged alphabetically by their last name. Most of these images do contain dates. A last minute addition of images was made to Box 28 resulting in eight images numbered as follows: 30.1, 30.2, 74.1, 74.2, 89.1, 207.1, 207.2, and 207.3.
Series IV: Albums (3 boxes) consists of three photo albums. These albums were kept in their original order. Box 29 has a photograph of Dr. Bernadine Healy during a CBS Teleconference.
Series V: Miscellaneous Images (3 boxes) consists of a multitude of different images arranged alphabetically by name. Thirty of the images in this series are titled “Unknown Information” because they do not have a name or a date associated with them.
The collection is open to the public and is available for viewing in the Medical Heritage Center. Materials do not circulate and must be used in the supervised reading room. Restrictions, including copyright, may exist and some materials may be too fragile to photocopy or digitize. The MHC charges for duplication services, which must be performed by staff.
