Tom Logan letters to Maude Hurd
Manuscripts
Small group of letters includes 12 letters from Tom Logan to Maude Hurd and 1 letter from Hurd to Logan from 1884 through 1885. In Logan's letters, he describes events on the Southern Great Plains, including the dispatch of his company to help control the incursions of Euro-American settlers into lands within the Indian Territory (foreshadowing the land rushes of 1889 and 1893). They offer insight into his views of Indians and of the western landscape where he served. Additionally, they offer insights into the rituals and rhetoric of courtship. Logans' letters contain varied assertions and entreaties about the pace of his efforts, the sincerity of his feelings and the depth of his commitment. In Hurd's only letter to him, she closes the circle by her excoriation of him for having abandoned their correspondence. There is a transcript included with each letter.

College of American Pathologists: Memoranda and Bulletins (1957-1963). 8 items
Manuscripts
The chief topics of the Curphey papers are: his work as Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, Battered Child Syndrome, air pollution, smoking and smog, aircraft accidents, suicide and suicide prevention, drug addiction and overdose, causes of death, homicides, asphyxia, autopsy, drowning, forensic pathology, forensic science, oral contraceptives, and violent deaths. The collection contains several boxes of glass lantern slides Curphey created for talks that he would give to other physicians. Prior to cataloging, most of the papers were stored in manila file folders with subject headings written in Curphey's handwriting. The current organizational structure of the collection for the most part replicates the classification system of Curphey's folders. In most cases, the contents of his folders were transferred in the order and under the conditions in which they were found. When appropriate and possible, the titles and sequence of Curphey's folders were retained. The original sequence of folders was not retained in those instances where no organizational schema seemed apparent, or when larger thematic groupings seemed preferable. For instance, all of Curphey's papers on air pollution and smoking, suicide, the Los Angeles Suicide Prevention Center, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, battered child syndrome, and aviation accident investigations have been grouped together within the collection. While the contents of the folders on each of these topics generally replicate the contents of Curphey's individual folders, the folders themselves have been consolidated for organizational purposes and ease of access.
