Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
This collection contains organizational records including administrative records, financial information, correspondence, reports, statistical data and maps, broadsides, pamphlets and periodicals, scrapbooks, photographs, and audiovisual materials from the American Lung Association of Central Indiana and its primary predecessor, the Marion County Tuberculosis Association, in Indianapolis, Indiana ranging from 1903 to 1977 regarding the organizations' activities in the eradication of tuberculosis (TB) and other respiratory diseases in Marion County and later, central Indiana. The collection is organized into 8 series.
Series 1 comprises administrative and organizational records (1908-1977), such as general correspondence, constitutions and bylaws, annual reports, meeting minutes and agendas, committee reports, financial records, contracts and official documents, publicity scrapbooks and clippings, and fundraising materials. The most significant portion of the records on fundraising activities concerns the annual Christmas seal campaigns. Also included are materials related to the organization's annual meetings, as well as newsletters published for the benefits of its members and the public.
Series 2 concerns health education and treatment program materials (1903-1977), which relate to the organization's work in public and community health, including data collection, health education, legislation, and the diagnosis, treatment, and eradication of tuberculosis, as well as rehabilitation for those infected, primarily in Marion County. Many of the materials are from health education campaigns to raise awareness, promote prevention, and ensure treatment for tuberculosis among various groups and populations in Marion County, such as schools, businesses, neighborhoods, hospitals, community organizations, and medical professionals. Fact finding records comprise statistics, documentation, and reports from surveys and studies of the incidence of tuberculosis and other diseases at the county, state, and national level.
Series 3 includes records about various institutions operated, supported, and engaged by the association (1913-1976), to provide education, examination, treatment, and rehabilitation for tuberculosis patients and at-risk groups, such as malnourished or sickly children. The bulk of the records relate to the Sunnyside Sanatorium, Theodore Potter Fresh Air School, and Julia Jameson Nutrition Camp. Other institutions include free clinics, hospitals, open air schools, and other institutions in Marion County and greater Indiana.
Series 4 comprises materials related to the conferences and meetings (1910-1975), in addition to publications of various city, county, state, regional, and national organizations, which include government agencies, professional organizations, TB associations, and other institutions and businesses. The majority of the publications concern health-related or scientific topics.
Series 5 contains subject files with publications and other materials pertaining to specific topics, such as certain demographics, events, or health-related concepts.
Series 6-8 are grouped by formats or types of materials, including photographs, audiovisual materials comprising sound recordings and reel-to-reel films, and oversize items such as broadsides, maps, and periodicals.
