This collection consists of 3 photographs depicting the Washington Unviersity Medical Center campus circa 1914, near the end of construction but prior to landscaping.
This collection consists of 41 glass lantern slides and duplicate photographic prints. This series of glass slides appears to have been collected in the Department of Surgery as a presentation on the history of the Washington University Medical Center circa 1912 through 1939. A few of the slides duplicate photographs found in other visual collections. However, the majority are unique photographs of the construction of the WU Medical Center, or are the only visual records documenting important events, including the cornerstone laying for the WUSM North Building in 1913 (VC057025, VC057026) and a ceremony prior to the construction of St. Louis Maternity Hospital (VC057037). Descriptions of the pictures were provided by Dr. Eugene Bricker.
This collection consists of 14 photographs and 1 drawing depicting Washington University Hospital scenes from 1908, including views of the men's and women's wards, the Dispensary, and the Surgical Ampitheater. The drawing depicts the exterior of the Missouri Medical College building.

Depicted subjects include interior and exterior views of construction crews, close-up shots of cyclotron parts, gauges, workbenches, and sections of the operational cyclotron, cyclotron operations, portraits of men and woman who worked in the cyclotron laboratory, and the architectural plans for the laboratory and for the cyclotron itself.
This collection consists of a scrapbook containing photographs, verse, and signatures of friends and colleagues of Warren B. Outten. Outten was gifted the scrapbook as a souvenir when the Missouri Pacific Railway Hospital was moved from its original office in Carondelet to a more central location in St. Louis. Outten was the organizer and chief surgeon of the office. The 25 photographs in the srapbook pertain to the Carondelet area and to Outten's office. Each photograph is matched with a quote or verse.

This collection consists of ninety-five 35mm slides, including some duplicated or variant images, produced from archival and private sources for a show honoring the Class of 1944, 1993-94. Many of the images are duplicates of those found in other visual collections.
This collection consists of 85 photographs and drawings documenting a range of subjects in the personal and professional life of Dr. Vilray P. Blair (1871-1955). The collection includes photographs of Blair, his family and colleauges, and his residence in Florissant, Missouri. Other depicted subjects from Blair's professional career include his operating room at Barnes Hospital specially decorated by artist Gisella Loeffler (1900-1977), his plaster cast shop, and a selection of his plastic surgery patients. Several of the patient photographs appear in Dr. Blair's published papers, including: "The Surgical Restoration of the Lining of the Mouth" (1923), "The Full Thickness Skin Graft" (1924), and "The Problem of Bringing Forward the Retracted Upper Lip and Nose" (1926).
This collection consists of 20 certificates and artifacts from Vilray P. Blair. Certificates include diplomas, membership certificates, Board certifications, and Army appointments. The collection also includes two plaster casts: a cast of Blair's face and a cast of his right hand.
This collection consists of 45 certificates and artifacts that were donated to Washington University School of Medicine, often as single items, in 18 accessions between the years 1989 and 1994.
This collection consists of 82 photographs and prints depicting various topics including notable persons, class photos, buildings and institutes. Many items have been relocated to other subject classified collections. The collection itself appears to have many items removed from other collections, chiefly RG01C. Many prints have handwritten notations in pencil on their versos of "RG1." It is likely, sometime in the 1960s when the archival collections were first created, that photographs were removed from RG01C as the collection was originally processed. However, there was no record made of their original location in the other collections. Sometime in the early 1980s these prints were assigned VC099 and numbered individually in no particular order, but based on their original housing. With no clear collection identity VC099 became a collection for photographs which were accessioned individually or found within files without clear provenance. Since the 1990s effort was made to reassign photographs to related collections or to collections with appropriate provenance as well as could be determined.
This collection consists of 28 photographs depicting scenes from Valentina Suntzeff's professional career. Half of the photographs depict unidentified microscropic images, while the other half depict Suntzeff with her husband Alexander and her colleagues at Washington University School of Medicine.
