Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
Many of the materials in this collection were created by and for occupational therapists, but the collection also contains a number of materials created by practitioners of other fields and of particular interest and use to OTs. Related fields that are represented in the collection include arts and crafts, medicine, and special education. The collection contains materials representing professional practice and research, professional association activities, and educational practices.
These materials include newsletters and newsmagazines, directories, conference programs and proceedings, syllabi and curriculum materials, monographs, brochures, catalogs, and product information. Many of the materials are profusely illustrated with photographs or drawings, in particular series VII (Assistive d~vices, orthotics, and prosthetics) and series VIII (Creative and manual skills). Series IV (Education of occupational therapists) contains a number of unusual formats. These include student and instructor notes from the 1940s and the 1970s, student arts and crafts projects from the 1940s, patient records used for teaching in the 1970s, and audiotapes for faculty development dating from 1981.
A number of the materials in this collection can be identified by owner. This is particularly true of series VIII (Creative and manual skills), which contains materials owned by Joanna Ballou, Eleanor Kille, Ruth Levine, Clare Spackman and Helen Willard
