Description

Army Medical Museum (AMM) correspondence and accompanying documents numbered according to a system used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries which assigned a distinct number to particular topics or correspondents. Contains correspondence of curators Walter Reed (including records relating to his yellow fever research), James Carroll, F.F. Russell, Eugene R. Whitmore, and C.C. McCulloch, Jr with George Sternberg and others.

This list is of the first three boxes in the collection, as well as some additional material. It covers the years 1894-1896 when Walter Reed was the Museum's curator. It is a direct output of the master database which should be consulted; this list will not be regularly updated
