Carl W. Gottschalk (1922-1997), professor of medicine and physiology at the University of North Carolina, 1952-1995, studied butterflies as a young man, but was most known for his work in frostbite, general renal/kidney function, and chronic renal disease. He was also an avid collector of rare books, especially on physiology and nephrology. The collection includes writings and illustrations, research materials, biographical materials, and correspondence and related materials chiefly documenting Gottschalk's medical research and teaching career. Materials also relate to his university administration functions and to his other interests, especially collecting rare books on physiology and nephrology. Topics of his writings include studies on extreme cold, renal function, transplantation, hemodialysis, chronic renal disease, and the history of the medical profession. Research materials consists of class notes, research notes, write-ups of experiment results, and other material in major areas of Gottschalk's professional interest, chiefly frostbite, general renal/kidney function, transplantation, and chronic renal disease. Correspondence and related materials consists primarily of items pertaining to Gottschalk's professional activities. Materials relate to his general research interests--frostbite and hypothermia, renal/kidney function, transplantation, and chronic renal disease--and to his activities with professional organizations, including the National Kidney Foundation, the American Society of Nephrology, and the International Society of Nephrology; his interest in entomology, especially studying butterflies and the development of his butterfly collection; his education and military service; his work as chair of the Committee on Chronic Kidney Disease; and his collecting of rare books.
