Scope and Contents
From the Series:
The Records of the Humanism in Medicine Program spans from 1986 to 2007. The collection consists mostly of paper materials (with some mixed materials) involving speaker lectures or artist exhibitions offered at The College of Physicians of Philadelphia (CPP) during these years. The bulk of the paper materials include printed email correspondence between CPP and visiting scholars/artists concerning the logistics of their presentation at the College, any corresponding promotional items, RSVPs, and speaker evaluations related to their event. Researchers interested in the arts and humanities in conjunction with medicine will appreciate learning about the body of work presented by past speakers and artists at the CPP. The section records might also spur researchers to further investigate these featured speakers and their contributions to society.
The collection includes eleven series: Correspondence; Mara Zepeda Papers; Finance; Advisory Board; Meetings; Programs; Visiting Scholars; Speaker Surveys and Evaluations; Medical Articles, Publications, and Poems; Medical Related Photographs; and Recorded Visiting Scholar Lectures.
Series I: Correspondence ranges from 2003 to 2007. The sub-series include: a) Visiting Scholars; b) Schools; and c) Hotels and Caterers.
