This series primarily contains photographs, but also includes some correspondence from Jessie Ternberg’s patients and patients’ families. The photographs include both portraits and snapshots, and are likely of patients and their families. The series also includes photographs of Dr. Ternberg with children, likely patients, and photographs of patients in surgery. Some of the children in the photographs have been identified, while others are unidentified.

The correspondence includes letters, thank you notes, and cards sent to Dr. Ternberg by patients and their families.

Many of the photographs were displayed on a bulletin board or in frames in Dr. Ternberg’s office at Saint Louis Children’s Hospital. The photographs and notes show the long relationships these children and families had with Dr. Ternberg and the impact she had on their lives; photographs from several families span a decade or more. The correspondence includes several thank you notes from patients and their families written to Dr. Ternberg many years following the time she served as their doctor; two notes were sent at least 20 years later.
