Sub-Series
Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
The collection contains Saul Jarcho's files on three paleopathology
projects, 1961-1975. Series 1 contains four folders of correspondence,
1966-1968, concerning the formation of the International Paleopathology
Association. The bulk of this correspondence is between Jarcho
and Abner Irving Weisman, who founded the Association in 1966.
The International Paleopathology Association seems to have
been discontinued circa 1968.
Series 2 contains Saul Jarcho's correspondence files, 19611970, and a preliminary plan, 1964, for a study center known as the Registry of Human Paleopathology, which Jarcho conceived, designed, and promoted. Most of the correspondence concerns Jarcho's attempts to secure support for the Registry. Although, in the 1960s, Harvard University expressed interest in the project, the Registry of Human Paleopathology was never established.
Three holograph lectures on the history of paleopathology delivered by Saul Jarcho at sessions of the Smithsonian Institution's Seminar Series in Paleopathology, 1972 andj1974, along with related correspondence and illustrative and reference materials, 1971-1975, are preserved in Series 3.
