Division Collections
National Research Council Division of Medical Sciences Records Group, 1946-1973
This records group is composed of two groups of papers: The records of the Office of the Chairman of the Division, as deposited at various times in the period, and the records of certain committees which kept separate files. Through most of this period, the Division had a central staff with broad responsibilities, so that the records of the individual committees were merged with those of the Chairman’s office on a daily basis; towards the end of the period, this was less the case, resulting in a larger number of discrete committee files. The records group spans 25 drawers of fully organized files.
Please note that the following listing is only an index, and not a folder inventory, of the activities and units represented in this records group.
