Source Materials and the Library: The Dispersion of the Beaumont Papers

AUTOR(ES)

Pizer, Irwin H.

RESUMO

The author discusses the confusion, attributable to misleading references, which long obscured the location of the main portion of the William Beaumont papers. The collection was previously thought to be in the National Library of Medicine, but it is actually housed in the Washington University School of Medicine Library. This has been clarified by the discovery of a series of previously unpublished letters of Sir William Osler, as well as by other newly found materials.
