The University Archives announces that an online finding aid is now
available for the D.J. Davis Papers, located at the Special
Collections Department of the Library of the Health Sciences. Dr. David J. Davis was
a famous and respected Dean of the University of Illinois College of
Medicine from 1924-1943. His personal papers 4.5 linear feet of material
from 1913-1955 and include manuscripts of his published and unpublished
writings; correspondence and reports relating to his activities in the
Illinois Medical Society, the Chicago Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium,
the D. J. Davis Lecture; general subject files; and drawings and notes
taken as a medical student.
This online finding aid is part of the University Archives pilot EAD
fining aid program and was encoded in XML using the EAD2002 DTD and later
converted to HTML using a XSL stylesheet. As XML use becomes more
widespread, the XML finding aids will be made available on the web in
their native format.
The finding aid can be found at:

The papers are available in the LHS Special Collections Department during
regular Reading Room hours, M-F, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. For more
